MCLOVIN LIVES!
I've got cat piss on my sneakers
And fur on my clothes
Fading corporeal reminders
I still miss you and it shows
Confidante, child, cuddler, comforter and friend
A spirited, adventurous lovely life
Ultimately cancels out a tragic end
McLovin, my little boopy noodle
I know I will see you again
Because it's apparent now
More than ever...
MCLOVIN LIVES!
You've heard all my forever in-progress pieces
And I have sung you countless songs
You were there when even fellow humans
Did me down, dirty, wayward, wrong
And now you frolick in the Feline Frontier
Snuggling spots in the Great Beyond
And whenever I cry
I will myself and try
To think of you
In that Big Friskies Adventureland in the Sky
Now you are with God--
Who protects and preserves
Who takes and also gives--
I will sing your name on high, little guy
Forever and always:
MCLOVIN LIVES!
This isn't the first poem I've written of you
And it certainly won't be the last
The New Year is here
But have no fear!
Your memory will not pass
Because we all know the soul does not die
And our lives are eternally entwined
My divine feline
You'll always be cuddled up in my heart
Kneading your paws on the inside
I've endless and dormant hugs, kisses and cuddles
So much love that I want to give
But there's no reason to lament
My little pizza roll's ascent
And besides, I know I know I know
MCLOVIN LIVES

McLovin looks a lot like my sweet Selma. She passed on on Mother's Day 2004. There's nothing like a kitty. We were so lucky to have them.
