Twelve and a half years have gone by

Lavender came to the neighbourhood

As the sweetest blue eyed Siamese kitten

One has ever laid their eyes on

Sarah and Lavender often take walks

Lavender loves the evening light

As the sun slowly sets over the horizon

Creating the lavender orange skies above

Twelve and a half years have gone by,

Sarah and Lavender slowly walks by

He isn’t as young as he was yesterday

But he still stops to smell the flowers

On the same path they’ve walked on for over a decade

Someday soon he shall leave to the same lavender skies

That he had adored every day of his little life

And Sarah’s world will come colliding down

But he’ll always have a place in her heart

And also in mine

He’ll always be there as a ghost of a memory

At the back of our minds
