CINNAMON
ON A SUNDAY IN JULY
I SAW A KITTEN RUNNING BY.
SHE HAD A COAT OF GRAY AND CREAM.
THE PRETTIEST KITTEN YOU’VE EVERY SEEN.
I KNEW THAT I WOULD TAKE HER IN
AND GAVE HER THE NAME OF CINNAMON.
SHE WAS MY FIRST AND ONLY ONE.
THEN THREE YEARS LATER I HAD A SON.
WE WERE TOGETHER FOR MANY YEARS
THEN MY JOY TURNED INTO TEARS.
YOU SEE CINNAMON GOT VERY SICK.
AN ILLNESS THAT SHE COULD NOT LICK.
AND SO ON A COLD NOVEMBER DAY
CINNAMON PASSED AWAY.
AS SHE GENTLY WENT TO SLEEP
A BROKEN HEART WAS MINE TO KEEP.
I KNOW THAT WE WILL NEVER PART
BECAUSE WHEN SHE DIED SHE TOOK MY HEART.
ALL MY LOVE CINNAMON,
