I stroked her as she died
it was hard to put her to sleep
but we could not let her suffer any more

She graced my world for 14 years
did my sweet cat April
and when this month comes
I always cry with April tears

That day I sent her to her eternal slumber
I looked into her big amber eyes
I could not let her suffer any more

I watched as she slowly succumbed to the drugs
knowing this would be the last time I'd see her
I walked out of the surgery after she died
it was rush hour, I did not care, I cried

She had been my trusted feline friend
and I loved her so, I miss the one I so adored
now she is gone my April forever more
