Soft footfalls can no longer tread
The hallway, kitchen, garden or bed

No comfort is given me at time of need
No longer noisy madam at dawn to feed

No yowls of anger when her, I ignore
Bless you Fifi and your miniature roar

Upon my shoulder now lies no velvety fur
Nor soft feline breath, from a gentle purr

My world has changed and now I must too
But I will never forget the wonder of you

I shall now think that above all this sadness
Are the 25 years you brought me gladness
