My Beloved Warrior



This is the true story of my beloved little warrior

Of a cat whose love had no barrier

Whose heart was filled with love, loyalty, and compassion

And could lighten your mood in any old fashion

From the first time I saw him, in that white carpeted room

The first thing I noticed was a white tiny plume

Oh, and how tiny he was!

He was my baby, from the first time I held him

And he will always be my baby, till the day I join him

As we drove back to the house, with him in a small cardboard box

He started yowling and clawing like a fox

I looked at my dad, and smiled, and thought,

This is quite a feisty one they caught!

And then as we all made it back home

I looked back and told my new kitty

“We’re here now, don’t worry”

He was home, and it’s like I can imagine him now

Free as a bird, running through the sunlit clouds

His spirit free, his love never forgotten

With eyes the color of the brightest hue

And whose expression was as wild as a tiger in a zoo

Who knew that after first being a small little ball of fluff?

That he’d grow into a strong, handsome cat so bold and tough

Let me tell you something, this cat was special in so many ways

He was clever, humorous, and brave

However despite his ferocious ways

With people, he was gentle and knew best when to obey

In fact, I swear he was part dog

He would follow you whenever you went out for a jog

And when you called for him, desiring his attention

He never lacked in giving you that satisfaction

He was quite a character, if you know what I mean

And despite spending his time outdoors, his coat was constantly clean

He was very playful, yet he knew when to stop

And if not, you could always remind him with a little head bop

Not only was he all of this

But he was much more; I could give you a list

Of a thousand qualities, no other cat could possess

Yes, I know, this cat was truly blessed

His personality was one that was especially unique

In a pet, it’s his kind of love that you should seek

Forever will I cherish him and his most beloved behavior

Take care my baby, my angel...

My Savior

P.S: I think this poem just about wraps everything up about Toby, and how such a special animal he was. He will always be in my heart, till the day I die. No matter how many animals I have, he will always hold a special place in my heart. No other pet has touched my heart the way he has. I love you Toby, always and forever!
