Thomas - Dearly Loved And Sorely Missed

My Beloved cat, Thomas, died on Tuesday 21st of September 2004 after giving me 7 years of joy.

He gave so much love and asked only to be loved in return.

Read the poetry written for Thomas Thomas's Gallery

I shall walk in the sun alone
Whose golden light you loved.
I shall sleep alone
And, stirring, touch an empty place.
I shall write uninterrupted.
(Would that your gentle paw
Could stay my moving pen just once again).

I shall fill my days
But I shall not, cannot forget:
Sleep softly, dear friend,
For while I live you shall not die.

Excerpt from Michael Joseph 'To a Siamese cat'
