Requiem Poem by Christopher Scherer

As we move throughout our sad lives,
Lived with love and pain and sorrow,
Recall - the - unfortunate few
Who will never have tomorrow.

So, dear Marie, you did your best,
You did all anyone could do.
But, Little Denim could not cope,
He, of the unfortunate few.

You had the yarn and poles and pads
And all kinds of cool cat stuff.
And Little Denim tried his best,
But his best wasn't good enough.

So, sweet Marie, accept my hugs
For, I know, even you must cry.
It is an unforgiving world
Where the littlest kittens die.

No joy is found in this hard life
When the littlest kittens die.

(Meegevoel, Marie)
