My Treasured Friend

I lost a treasured friend today
The little cat who used to lay
His gentle head upon my shoulder
And shared his silent thoughts with me.

He’ll come no longer to my call
Sprawl on his favorite spot on the couch
A voice far greater than my own
Has called him to his golden throne.

Although my eyes are filled with tears
I thank him for the happy years
He let him spend down here with me
And for his love and loyalty.

When it is time for me to go
And join him there, this much I know
I shall not fear the transient dark
For he will greet me with a meow.
