One by one,

          They left their paw prints

Scattered on your heart

           The cat

Who turned door knobs

           By himself

The one

           Who would purr

                       in your lap

                                                Content to be

                       Stroked behind her ears

                                               As you watched T.V.

                       And all the others…

                                               But always

                       (Too soon)

            They would leave you

Before you had the

 Chance to say

        Farewell
