Nothing is so strong as gentleness, and nothing is so gentle as true strength,Robert W Sockman
Our boy
With the soft turquoise eyes.
Gentle soldier
Silently patrolling the boundaries where you lived.
Fur as soft as seed down,
Everything you needed within you.
Soulwise, self sufficient
You bestowed your gifts upon us:
Light, humour and love.
You came to us as a kitten
On our windowsill.
When the snow fell
you came in seeking shelter and warmth.
You danced your way into our lives
Until, one day, you slipped away as soundlessly as you came.
Our boy, gentle soldier,
Our Bobbiedazzler…..

"Cats make one of the most satisfying sounds in the world: they purr ...
A purring cat is a form of high praise, like a gold star on a test paper. It is reinforcement of something we would all like to believe about ourselves - that we are nice."
