My Valentine

Writer's picture: Patricia LynnePatricia Lynne

Unexpected news . . .


My friends kidney failure

A future death sentence

Difficult words to hear

a somber lonesome tear



Half shaved, long-haired

Big beautiful green eyes

Grabbed my lonely heart

On that Valentine’s Day



What about that one, I queried

Thinking we could be a match

She gently put him in my arms

He has a bucket load of charm



His paw taps gently on my face

I’m sold in the first ten seconds

Then began our two-some journey

My rescued friend and me



Always greeting me at the door

Sitting politely on all fours

Waiting for me to pick him up

My butterscotch boy of fluff



I don’t know who cares more

Him for me or me for him

Comforting my falling tears

Calming my monster fears



Purring sweetly on my lap

Snuggled up for timely nap

His warm heart near to mine

Mister fourteen years in time



Loving him the best I can

Food to support his kidneys

Vet’s visits, pain medication

A pet owner’s dedication



A day will come not far off

When his spirit will live no more

Except in my mind’s memory

A joyful fury ball of energy.



In Loving Memory of Mister
