Koshka was no ordinary cat;
she was born on a construction site
but was saved from her plight
and brought back to life
She was a popular sight in the neighbourhood
and possessed a friendly might,
day or night she would be waiting to greet us
and became a regular visitor to our home;
and soon was one of our own
A loyal companion, friend to all
she spent her days sunning herself on the deck
nestling herself into the garden for a snooze,
but in the end, she met her plight
a sorry sight she was
the light of our life,
now no longer
