A Poem For Suzie
by Leigh Kemp
A squeaky kitten in a cardboard box,
That is how you came to us,
The passing of years haven't clouded my mind,
I can picture so vividly that precious moment in time.
From the moment, that, you entered our lives,
We were never far from each other's side,
Through seasons past, cold, rain and sun,
From that day forward a magical journey begun.
Alas the years have passed so quickly,
but, unlike us, you never grew old,
You were the rock that our emotions are built on,
The most beautiful of stories waiting to be told.
You changed our lives in the most gracious of ways,
You brought sunshine into our hearts on the darkest of days,
You brought gentleness and loving, kindness and fun,
From the day that magical journey begun.
Sadly time has caught up with us and you're no longer here,
But in our hearts you'll always be near,
Because you've taught us so well, your lessons so clear,
That true love is unconditional and death holds no fear.
