Unexpected

When One Must Leave, so Another May Join

In Loving Memory of Kibi

The moment I saw her,

I cried.

She looked so much like another,

Another whom I had lost all too soon.

I looked into those eyes,

And I knew she had to be mine.

It was love at first sight.

I gave her everything she needed,

Everything she could possibly want.

All the love I had, still overflowing from before,

And even more, now, that was, just for her.

The look in her eyes when she stares up at me,

I melt every time,

Even now,

Almost five years later,

My heart still skips a beat when I see her.

I love it when she sings to me,

So early in the morning.

I love it when she chatters over my morning coffee.

When she demands to be cuddled under the blanket on a cold winter day.

Sometimes I look at her precious little face,

And I cry,

Missing the one I had lost before,

But I see her every day when I look into her eyes.

They are so different,

But so the same.

If I had not lost,

I would not have gained,

I would not have known she existed,

I could not have saved.

When one life ends,

Sometimes another can begin.

From sorrow and pain,

Can come a wonderful,

Unconditional love.

(A poem, In loving memory of Kibi, beloved cat/furbaby dedicated to Destiny, who was found and rescued only a short week after Kibi's passing.)
