Shirley:Poetry

This poem is written by Shirley a sufferer of OCD who lives in Australia. Little man was a kitten which once belonged to Shirley but because of the No Pets rule in Shirley's apartments she had to give Little Man to her nieces. Shirley misses Little Man and this is the poem that she wrote.

Eyes of blue fur grey and white,

So cute and cuddly a lovely sight,

I knew you when first you crawled upon my knee my thumb to bite,

So small so tiny little eyes so bright,

 brought you home in a purple sheet,

Then out you hopped and sat at my feet'

 

When you first came, your back legs were weak,

you would tip over then you would squeak.

Come pick me up so l can see,

what is going on around me,

You too had trouble to eat,

But took from my finger milk and meat,

 

 Soon you became strong and toddled everywhere,

But most times I would find you on my chair,

 

It was not long before I heard you squeak.

Can I come up I thought you said,

So up you climbed right to my head,

upon my shoulders you would sit, as I made my bed,

 and did my work, until I reached and got the broom,

 down you would come, and run from room to room,

 

You loved to play our special game,

 so each night you were ready when I came,

Squeak Squeak you would say now I am ready to hide,

 in cupboards and drawers little

 places you would find,

 

Your first time outside was filled with awe,

a bird called Loud and on my foot you put your paw'

Such joy you brought day and night,

but sadly for me you went away

 to a lovely home and two sweet girls with eyes of blue,

 

They love you dearly each, passing day

and watch you on rocks climb trees as you play,

 They feed you well and meet your needs,

 

I will always love you my Little Man my Little Man,

I  will see you when ever I can,

ln my heart you will always remain'

as I wander with your memories down memory lane.

 

Never forget me Little Man,

as I grow old remember if you can.

 You will always be loved by the family you have

But I will remember you any how.
