My cat died yesterday…

Ten years she has been part of the family.

Ten years she has been with me.

My solitary friend who loved to eat, sleep and stay pretty…

Took care of her as she took care of me, although unknowingly.

My first real sense of earthly loss…

People say, "May papalit din kay Ming".

And I say, "Wala. Walang papalit sa kanya."

                    ~~~

Darkness gripped my world today,
my little Ming was taken away,
I watched her gasping her last breath,
and whispered to her "It’s time to rest."
My heart crumbled as I watch her go,
but I couldn’t let her suffer so.

I kissed her head, buried my face in her side,
whispered goodbye and a part of me died.
May heavens arms hold you, softly my love,
until I can hold you in Heaven above.
