It's been six months since we had to say good-bye to our sweet Daisy. Sometimes, I still expect to see her waiting by the door when I come home. No matter how long I was gone or how late I got home, she was always right there at the door purring.
I miss her friendship. I miss her snuggles. Most of all, I miss her unconditional love.
True Love
My cat sits
on the windowsill
waiting,
watching,
for me
to come home
from school.
I open
the door
to her soft
purr-ing.
A big thank you to my talented friend and this week's host, Linda at TeacherDance .
I suspect you will always expect her to be there, Linda. I can still feel the way my previous pets's fur was. remember each one with love, as you have with this loving post. Thanks for sharing this about your sweet pretty Daisy. Happy Valentine's Day!

ReplyDeleteLinda, it is so difficult to lose a loving pet. Daisy had such a beautiful, little face. Your valentine poem is sweet.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carol.
DeleteSuch a sweet poem for your Daisy. I'm so sorry for your loss. There's an emptiness where a soft, welcoming purr used to be, isn't there? I still grieve for my Ling Ling who slept beside me every night.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for you loss. Our pets bring so much joy. It's very hard to say good-bye.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Karen.
DeleteSorry to hear about Daisy. We certainly can use more unconditional love in this world. Glad she was a source of that for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jama.
ReplyDeleteAww, that's true love for you! Dogs aren't the only ones...
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing Linda! I always find cats interesting. They are so full of personality.
ReplyDeleteYes, they sure are! Thank you, Tim.
ReplyDeleteYep. I'm a cat lover...dog lover too. But, my cat can just get me when no other human or canine cares to. And, he sleeps behind my knees...which is kind of adorable. This is all to say, I'm sorry you miss your cat. I get it. It's a rough loss. I hope you can get another sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteAlways so, so hard to lose a four-legged family member! This is such a sweet and gentle tribute! Hoping you will find a new friend soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. I too am a cat lover and if I had not developed allergies to all furry things would probably end up a crazy old cat lady.
ReplyDeleteWhat a purr-fect tribute to your little friend.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for your loss, but thankful for the reminder to enjoy every moment we have with our furry kid. He's more teeth and claws than purr and snuggle, but he's got a huge personality that we love so much.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you lost your friend, but I'm glad you have sweet memories!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to loose pets we love, this is a lovely tribute poem to your dear Daisy–thanks for sharing it with us Linda!
