The house is quieter now
I don’t hear your little bell
Or your sometimes annoying
Yet soft and sweet meow

You left unexpectedly
There was nothing I could do
I searched all day
Just to find you laying in the woods

You loved plastics bags
Especially when they were rolled up
You would run and jump
And sometimes the bags would get unrolled
And you’d climb in and get stuck

You wanted and craved attention badly
No matter who you got it from
And no matter where I sat
You were always on my lap

You are forever my baby
My black and white trouble maker
And I love you and miss you so much
