My Stuffed Animal

Always there for me when I’m down,
Soft and warm to cuddle when I sleep.
A small brown cat that’s travelled the world,
With me, from France to Italy and Greece.

It’s seen my whole childhood through its brown eyes,
Late nights tossing and turning without it.
Still treasured, it will be forever.

It’s seen me cry, it’s seen me laugh.
There’s never been a day without it.
its name, Suzy, brings the memories back,
Named after my beloved cat,
That sadly died many years ago.

The day I received it, so happy and excited.
A bit ruined, but still loved,
And always will be.
Who knew something so small could tell a story about my life.
