Moggsy

Moggsy, my joy for thirteen years
The centre of our home and my heart
A gift of love on my first birthday
Grey as a stormy sky
Furry stripes surrounding his pillow-shaped body
A fluffy ball
Cuddly as a koala
His purring would put me to sleep and wake me at dawn
Moggsy, my joy as I walked through the door after school
My sorely missed friend
Company through the monotony of homework and security from nightmares and dreams
My heart broke when you left
My play mate had gone
My constant friend was no longer there
But the gift of life shared remains ever present
Moggsy, my joy for 13 years
Always remembered with absolute joy
