Maggie

Brad Jarvis
You had a first thought

When I opened the door

To get me to feed you

And pet and adore.

If I moved to the couch

Engrossed in the news

You climbed on my knee

And sniffed at my shoes.

To the office I went

And you followed me there.

You lay at my feet

Then jumped on a chair.

If I was late in the morning

And you already ate,

You'd come up to get me

And make me feel great.

You were kind and forgiving,

My favorite cat

You shared love and joy

Wherever you sat.

I miss you, sweet Maggie,

My fur-headed friend.

I'll follow you now

To memory's end.
