There Was No Love More Genuine than Mine

October 21, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is the death of a pet.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

An epitaph for a cat named Tiger:

There was no love more genuine than mine;

In giving and receiving it was pure.

Grieve not, for my legacy is pleasure,

Each memory a gift that will endure,

Returning gifts you gave me in my time.
