MY CAT DIED TODAY

MY CAT DIED TODAY
It was really a shock.
My parents said they need to talk.
I, with my cat, wanted to play.
My parents had something
they wanted to say.

My cat died today.

These words, my parents did say.
It ruined my day.
We would no more play.
My parents saw that I was sad.
They told me, remember all
the good times we had.

My cat died today.

There were good things we could say.
The cat had been fun.
They told me, remember
all the good things we had done.

My cat died today.

She was gone.
Yesterday, the cat of mine,
seemed fine.
Now, a long night before the dawn.
My cat did die. I did cry.

My cat died today.

A fact that I could not ignore.
I saw her lying on the floor.
My parents saw that I was blue.
They told me, see,
there were things we could do.

My cat died today.

She would no longer be my friend.
No more time together would we spend.
Our time would end.
