Death Of A Friend You came into my #life, when I was only two, And before very long, my closest friend was you. I saw you every day, every moment was pure joy, We laughed and larked and played, I had no need for toys. I told you all my secrets, you never passed them on, You listened to my problems, and then they were foregone. Your comfort helped my tears, those calming, patient eyes, My perfect friend - my equal, an angel in disguise. The years went by so fast, and I saw us separate, I left you behind, and our paths did deviate. I grew too fast for you, and fell to society, You stayed young forever, forever roaming free. A free spirit of the world, a pure and simple heart, I shared my #life with you, my lovely counterpart. But all things live and die, feel love and feel pain, Your #life was lifted from me on my lonely mortal plane. Who knew you'd mean so much, to that boy who needed you, And now you are not with him, he can't think what to do. You promised never to leave me, but now you lay here dead, Your soul was always free, my kind, loving cat Fred. RIP
