Your face captured my attention
And those eyes so hazel green
A quick glance to the left of my
Computer screen and I saw this
Beautiful black male cat was
Tested FIV positive
Now my heart aches--yearns for
You, my handsome boy
My heart goes out to you
I am so sorry, dear one
That it had to be this way
Tears clog my eyes and sobs
Fill my throat
My heart is pounding in my chest
Now I want you all the more
My trembling lips can barely even
Mouth those four whispered
Words of comfort
"I love you, Nero!"

"What I Love Most About Lady Jane Is...Well,
Me & Her Get Along Like Two Pieces Of Candy
And She Is My Lifelong Companion & Always Will Be So
In The Same Way Your Cat Is Unique
Always Spend Time With Your Pet(s)
Just Like I Try To Do With Lady Jane
Because You Never Know When Your Sweet Pet
May Be Taken From You
If You're A Poet/Poetess Like Me, Write About Your Pet
Read Poems By Others Written For Her
Make Her Feel Mighty Special And Loved
And Another Very Important Thing...
Sure, There's Plenty Of Famous Pets Out There
But Never Forget That Your Pet Is Famous In Her Own Way
She Is Lucky To Have You & You Are Lucky To Have Her (Or Him)
She Doesn't Have To Be A Movie Star Just To Be Special
Every Pet Is Special...And They Don't Have To Be In Movies
Or Even The Most Courageous Pet Or Hero
Just To Be Special....Because They Already Are
By Providing You Years Of Special
& Happy Companionship With Them
And Always Remember To Love Your Pet...
And Act Nicely To Them
Always Keep In Mind That Sometimes
Even When You Don't Treat Them With Kindness
They Will Treat You With Kindness...
And Yeah, I Know, This Is Not A Poem...
More Like A Speech...But This Is What Is On My Mind
And I Just Wanted To Share It With You...
Thank You For Reading This!
May You Be Blessed With Years Of Friendship
With Your Special & Unique Pet!"
