Poem - Blankney Friendship

This poem is self-explanatory. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Blankney Friendship

I miss you now that you are gone
The times we spent together
Your time on earth was oh so short
You should have lived forever
I felt the love you gave me
I saw it in your eyes
You never tried to hurt me
You never told me lies
Your soft and gentle presence
Told me that I must
Always be around for you
In me you placed your trust
I would watch you in the garden
That was your favourite place
And catch in shafts of sunlight
Your perfect form and grace
Now I look with saddened eyes
At the chair in which you sat
To me you were my dearest friend
To others, just a cat
