Hi everybody! I hope you’re doing good. I’m sad because my cat Highway got ran over and killed yesterday. My dad buried him in the backyard. I wrote him a note and poem.
Dear Highway,
You were the best cat I ever owned. I miss you so much. The house is so lonely now. I know that you are not really dead, you were not that kind of cat I can’t imagine a world without you.
Love,
Anna
We put the note in a plastic bag in the ground with him and got a statue of a smiling sun to put on his grave.
Hopes for Highway
My Highway lays
beneath the ground.
I hope he likes
what he has found.
I hope he finds
that things are nice.
I hope he gets
a lot of mice.
I hope he sees
a lot of birds.
I hope he reads
these written words.
I hope he meets cats
that are not rude.
I hope he gets
a lot of food.
I hope he does not
get chased by dogs.
I hope he goes
and jumps on logs.
I hope he gets
to climb a tree.
I hope he will
remember me.
Because I will always
remember him.
And I know that I
will see him again.
In my sleep
or in my dreams.
Highway is
just what he seems.
He is my cat
I loved him so.
But now I have to
let him go.
Highway was the
name of my cat.
He was some of this
but all of that.
Bye!
