TODAY I LOST A VERY DEAR FRIEND
ALTHOUGH I KNEW SHE HAD NEARED HER END
SHE WAS GIVEN SLEEP IN MY ARMS
PURRING HER LAST PURR WITH HER CHARMS
SHE IS NO LONGER OF THIS EARTH
BUT IN MY HEART SHE HAS GREAT WORTH
EMMA IS THE NAME OF WHOM I WEEP
MY LOVE FOR HER I WILL ALWAYS KEEP
SHE WOULD WAIT FOR ME TO APPEAR
THEN SUDDENLY RUSH OVER TO BE NEAR
IF I IGNORED HER A SWIPE I WOULD GET
JUST SO I KNEW SHE WAS THE NUMBER ONE PET
SO 17 YRS HAS GONE TOO FAST
BUT HER MEMORY WILL ALWAYS LAST
NO MORE I CAN WRITE WITHOUT A TEAR
SO SILLY TO CRY BUT I HAVE NO FEAR
SHE WAS THE GREATEST SHE WAS ALL THAT
MY DEAREST BEST FRIEND EMMA MY CAT.....
