‘SIMBA’
SIMBA,OUR BEAUTIFUL SIAMESE
WHO WE SAVED ONE COLD
NOV. NIGHT
SO TINY AND SMALL
CAME INTO OUR LIVES
ONLY ONE POUND THE VET SAID
AND FROM A BOTTLE YOU MUST BE FED.
A YEAR AND SIX MONTHS MORE
WE KEPT YOU CLOSE INSIDE
BUT AS YOU GREW OLDER,WE KNEW
YOU’D BE HAPPIER OUT THE DOOR.
ONLY FIVE DAYS OF FREEDOM
TO EXPLORE GOD’S WORLD
TO RUN AND CHASE THE BUGS AWAY
TO SMELL THE GRASS AND FLOWERS
AND FEEL THE RAIN COME DOWN;
SIMBA I’M SO VERY SORRY;
I HOPE YOU KNOW WE LOVED YOU
AND WANTED TO KEEP YOU SAFE
NOT TO END YOUR LIFE THIS WAY!
GOD,I’M SORRY
FOR SIMBA’S LIFE TO END.
THANK-YOU FOR SHARING
HIM WITH US.
KEEP HIM SAFE IN HEAVEN
TILL WE CAN SEE HIM AGAIN.
PROMISE ME OH PROMISE ME
I’LL HOLD HIM ONCE AGAIN
AND NEVER LET HIM GO
SIMBA OUR BEAUTIFUL SIAMESE
MY “FOREVER” FRIEND.
