For Our Dear Departed:

Makaleah, Makaleah

such a lovely, tender face

the joy you gave to all of us

cannot be replaced

you’d tiptoe along the counter

hoping for a treat

you curled up in your favorite box

so tenderly and sweet

you meowed for more attention

for petting, food, or play

and I would give most anything

to have you back for one more day

you loved without condition

because that is who you were

priceless, pure affection

from blinking eyes and quiet purr

Makaleah, Makaleah

they’ll never be another you

I only hope the joy you brought

will someday lift the blue

I’m so grateful you were with us

I’ll love you for all my days

remembering you always

and your loving, gentle ways…
