[Pets become an important/special part of our lives. I wrote this pet memorial tribute many years ago, with the loss of a dear cat. For me it brings back many pleasant memories--dlw]

Farewell, our friendly, furry pal,
Such a loving playful gal.
A favorite flower, you were indeed-
Even as thy name decreed!

But as the flower's fleeting glory,
This sadly too, became thy story:
Too soon cut down, thy life departed
Leaving us so broken-hearted!

For your sweet Life formed our bouquet-
Life was cheered by your display;
You may us wealthy by your presence,
In thy loss, but sorrowing peasants.

No uncommon flower-one of a million,
Much unlike your namesake given;
But in the "field" you stood alone-
So very much a paret--"our home!"

Gone like the Springtime's flower spent,
But who forgets the fragrant scent?
Regrets? But one, our hearts do sigh--
Gone too soon, without a last Goodbye!

WOW- another day of life-and here among friends!
Ain't God Grand!

David, (sigh!) What a touching, loving tribute to Daisy. I know the pain for you and Linda for I lost a dog who was like a child to me. (sigh).

The writing and rhyme is flawless, very well done and enjoyed, as it brought back my own special memories.

Thank you so much for posting this. I think it was a very honorable tribute to Daisy. I still have yet to put into words how I feel about my cat, but I am still working on it... you make it look so easy! Such talent. I'm jealous even

I'm sure Daisy loved this too... and can't wait to see you again.
