From the very first moment

I knew that you were my favourite one.

You were tiny and so tender,

you required all our attention.

 

But it was such a pleasure to play

with you after finishing homework!

You were my coffee-like little wonder

and I loved to hold you in my arms.

 

Caressing your caramel-like fur

was like touching fine silk or satin.

Your blue eyes were so expressive

and your tail was so funny.

 

I nearly forgot you and though

I can remember you in your first days of life.

You were my sweetest gift and you made

a part of my childhood so much more pleasant.

 

Cats were not your friends,

but you did not harm them.

When you died of old age

I suffered, I suffered very much.

But your memory is still present.
