An Ode To Crazy Cat Lady Cole Poem by Matt Mondschein

I just cannot recall
Why, we did not hook up
My, it's only been thirty or so years
Since that day, I've cried many tears
Gained a few pounds and a few new fears

For you, I can tell
You've seemed to go, through parts of hell
How can a woman of beauty, be treated so harsh?
I knew you then, I wish only I was with you
When you were married, to him

I long for the day
When I can visit you
Kiss your ears and heal them
Just for a blessed moment in time
So you can hear me, whisper
I still hold a place for you
In my strengthened soul

For you, CatLadyCole
I pray for you daily
Keeping the faith, you've had from the start
Your love endures with those cats and kittens
With your blessed heart
