Five meerkats huddled side-by-side,
So close, no gaps between,
To pose for me, as if with pride,
Like none I've ever seen...
With smiles so broad that I smiled, too,
They made me laugh as well,
Because of all the things they do,
Enchanting like a spell...
It made me miss my family,
My precious Mum and Dad,
No longer on this Earth with me,
Thus reasons to feel sad...
Yet those five meerkats said it all,
Enjoy good times each day,
For true love's such a miracle
Till death steals it away...
I took my pictures one-by-one
And thanked God for the light
That He provided with the sun
To grant me such insight...
Reminding me of all I had,
The memories that blessed,
Reminding me of Mum and Dad
Who truly were the best!
