The Day of Ulysses

my little furry friend

until his bravest end

you know,

the darkest days of life

can cut you like a knife

but, by tooth and claw

his voice loud and raw...

my little furry friend...

I'd hereby like to send

my warmest deepest thanks

because the nights march in in ranks

save for the light

of a furry little sun

BFF's for life

when all

is said

and done.

Thinking of things we've lost in our lives recently... In loving memory of my deceased kitty, Ulysses the Great, First of His Name, Lord of the Woonsaquatucket.
