For Suzuko
We found you in the evenings shade
amid the cornstalks tall.
We took you in, you touched our lives,
The stories we could tell.
With your stripy nose, your yellow eyes,
Your soft and tender sounds,
Suzuko --- Kitty, Little Bell
Our hearts forever bound.
Silent conversations with your eyes
Were always met with affection.
The kneading paws on your delicate frame
Always signaled your contentment.
The way your gentle paw-touch felt
as it met upon a cheek,
When you held it there, twas like a soft caress
--- ever soulful and so sweet.
An angels soul that winged its way
and took a form wed notice.
You left your paw-prints on our hearts
And we miss your presence with us.
