Ode to Gladys by Kelly Arth

nansel-and-gretel:

Glady catty you make me smile,
first arrived all shy and quiet,
you’re filled with spirit.

Glady catty you stayed for a while.
Glady catty you cuddled with me,
you ran and jumped and played with me.

You waited at home for my return,
you stayed with me till my departure.

Bratty catty you bit and scratched me.
You ran away to hunt,
but still came back to me.

Bratty catty you ate my mom’s plant,
Bratty catty you made her rant.

Glady catty how I miss you.
You made my family smile in everything you did,
even when you were playing and ran away and hid.
When you went outside for the first time to explore
we saved you from the outside world, but you wanted to see more.

Glady catty I will miss you.
Glady catty you make me smile.
