Here’s a poem that was written on June 7, 1995. I think that I published it before but it resonates with me after the passing of one of my cats on Friday, June 7, 2024.
Goodbye, my friend
“How can I go on without you?” I ask
Why has God given me this impossible task?
I try not to
But I have to cry
Why, my friend, did you have to die?
I miss you so much
You haven’t been gone very long
I feel like singing every sad song
Everything reminds me of you
I am so blue
People try to comfort me
And be my friend
But I’d rather have you
My friend to the end
But the end has come for us
It doesn’t help to fight
Or fuss
I want to know if we will ever meet again
I wish you were with me, friend
Tell me how to ease the pain
Tell me how to get out of the rain
I try to think of the good times we had
Every time I try to say goodbye to you
I feel so sad
But it is time
I have to let go
Always remember I love you so
Goodbye, my friend
Goodbye forever.
