[hometext] => For My Katt Sammy Sam
[bodytext] => From the Naegeli"s Canada To Sammy Sam Our one and only all black Katt. Was hit by a car and now he’s gone Remembering back these 14 years and all the wonderful times we had How the kids all remembered that cold November the year that you were borne How at Christmas that same year you climbed up in the tree Oh funny, comical, silly black Katt. We just had to keep this one The kids wrapped him up in Christmas wrap And he was their gift to me So he became the new addition. And Sammy came on board Named Samantha Sammy for short We thought she was a girl But later to find that she wasn't a She But a HE instead. Blending in quite well with the already menagerie From Guinea Pig, hamster and long eared Hare Old Sam had seen it all. Sammy mated with the resident female and Produced a very proud litter The female Katt her name was Babes And had a son named Smoker Now Sammy’s clan began to grow with Katts and more Katts abound The last three males were with him now Their names the same as ours The ones now past but still remembered Are Baby and Babes Riggins and Steeler And so from the seven litters from two particular felines Two more were added to the crew. Sammy’s life partner Zimba and her grandson OJ And of course her brother Butts. And an odd one we called OZZIE Then with a blink of an eye we had 14 Believe me it is true. The pictures taken hold the proof Seven kittens and seven full grown. When the later years began to creep Old Sammy was pretty happy , sprightly, healthy and content My husband in his favorite chair And Old Sammy Sam in his Knew all his favorite places and his name on his own dish. But in the past few years It began to show his sight was slowly fading And quite soon after It became apparent His hearing had gone too. Old Sam was smart and knew the cut of the land And for 13 years he roamed, walked, climbed and clawed His most memberable turf. So when things got bad He made a pact That he could no longer roam Just across the street and back again to his corner within the fence Where He knew he safe And no danger was around. But this fateful morning just after Breakfast He went out which was his usual way Then came the call at 11 o clock It said your cats been hit. He looks critical and definitely not good. Huber’s, my son and I raced to where Our Sammy was taken Did the papers and called the Vet Stay Open I Pleaded Stay open we are coming Bringing Sam Sam in. Old Sammy’s back was broken But he cried not a sound But just like Sam he waited patiently Till we had arrived. We spoke his name and stroked his fur I knew that he could sense us. They gave him a shot to ease the pain And Sammy summed up all his strength Rose his head up to look us in the eye. No feeling from his hips on down He couldn’t move hind limb or tail. But he raised his head and opened his eyes just to let us know. He knew we were there. Our Sammy was much too old and wouldn’t heal like before A decision was made to let him rest He’d had after all done his best To hold on through all this mess Just to say Good-bye. With his head held high We scratch and stroked his ears and Faintly Ever so Faintly I could hear him Purring Yes I imagine Sammy was remembering it all I curled my arms around him and whispered in his ear That he was loved and ever so brave And I said it’s OK if you go. No More pain Like how you felt at the moment In that instant Just loving scenes of roaming free And seeing and hearing sound I stroked him till his eyes grew weary That last little spark was gone. I whispered low and told him to dream and go to sleep Tomorrow he would be better. Go to sleep Old Man and dream My Sammy Sam Sam My one and only all black Katt. 14 years you spent with us and Through it all we stuck together To the very end. Sleep now old friend The pain will stop. And you will be in heaven Feeling whole again Peace be still- We miss you and Will look to hear your snoring.:-) But Sammy Sam My only black Katt Will live forever in my heart.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
