My kitten, my love

The size of a hand,

I found him in the sand;

Looking at his white face,

Besides him I stand.

I took him home,

But he was not alone;

There was his little sister

Almost like her mother, I would say a clone.

They lived with me,

Played with me.

They taught me to live like free

We used to have meetings over tea.

Then one day from my work, I came.

There was a silence, unusual and strange,

There was no usual greeting exchange.

I marched forward and there he lied breathless and lame.

I was awestruck and dumbfounded.

He was so genuine and grounded.

I took his little sister to the room

I was heavy but could understand her gloom.

Next few days were tough,

There mother was sad and behaved rough.

It was the end of our story

He was now history.

I still feel him in my house

He would run and play and chase every mouse

And sleep with me

cozy and relaxed in the same old couch

Same old couch.
