Warning: this is sweet, but it will make you cry.
Redditor BlondeRed had to say goodbye to her beloved cat named Chicken. Chicken had been battling cancer for months, and it was time. Many of the members of r/cats knew Chicken from BlondeRed's previous posts, and had followed her medical travails. One of reddit's poet laureates, SchnoodleDoodleDo, offered a poem in honor of Chicken, written from the cat's point of view, just the way she would say it.
…i think it’s time for me to go,
it’s gonna be Ok, i know
you always treated me so good,
n i stayed here
long as i could
you promise me the pain will cease,
n tell me that i’ll Rest In Peace
Remember all the love we shared -
i knew, dear friend, how much you cared!
don’t worry, now, cuz i’m alright
just one last kiss
n hold me tight
you won’t forget your ‘chicken cat’!
take comfort, now, in knowing that
we Both be strong.. i’m gonna try
…is hard, sometimes,
to say
Goodbye . . .
i’m thankful for the love you gave,
I won’t be ‘Chicken’…
…I’ll be
Brave…
❤️
A fitting tribute for a sweet cat. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. -via Metafilter
