BYE SMUDGE
(epitaph for a cat)
Bye Smudge, it's hard to believe that
you're gone
You were the most, and we were so close for so long.
Bye Smudge, we're already missing that face
One of a kind,
and one we could never replace
Pictures of you by the fireplace, honey
Pictures of you in the hall
And deep in our hearts you had your place, your place
We won't forget you at all
Bye Smudge, we're hoping that you
understood
All of your life, we loved you the best that we could
