                        For a great cat called Breezer


       He came to us like a tiger,

                        Breezed into our lives

              Bit to the bone in his feline way-

       Slowly he came to trust us,


             And to make our home

                        his final short- sojourn-


       The day before he died,

                        He lay upon my lap

                               And looked at me full of trust

         And sadness-as if to say,

                   (    As I looked into the dark depths

                                   Of his eyes  and marveled

        The perfection of his creaturehood. )

                  Sorry that I must leave you

 After too short a friendship-

                 Please remember this look,

                     Of my trust and my love -
