This is a dark and mournful day
Today my Sophie went away
She had grown weary
While I had grown teary
This is a dark and mournful day
I cannot believe my Sophie had to go away







There was a cat
Her name was Sophie
She loved to play in her living room jungle
Where she would stalk and pounce on every bundle
She could attach with deadly aim
As she played her jungle game
Upon Mt. Fireplace Mantle she would leap
And there she would find warmth and peaceful sleep







The house seems so quiet and still
My heart aches as I look at the empty windowsill
I miss her being there
Looking outside every where
She would chatter to the birds
I don't know if they understood a word
The house is so quiet and still
I know it now as I lay my hands on the empty windowsill
My heart is racked with pain
I love four cats but she was the main
The house is deadly still
For Sophie is not on the windowsill







She came to us as a tiny kitten
We looked at her and we were smitten
She was my love
I called her my little ladybug







There was a cat that sat on the mantle
When she jumped up there it made her people feel addled
From the TV to the mantle she would go
Swaying her body to and fro
Flying through the air
This cat had not a care
Leaping over a Degas figurine as she leapt
If it had crashed and broke her people would have wept
There she would sit and at you she would stare
To tell her to get down you would not dare
Sophie was grace and stealth
It made her people feel they possessed great wealth







Was she real
Or just a dream
This Sophie cat
Who ruled supreme
She tiptoed into my life
She was there to quiet the strife
This little gray and white
She brought such joy to my life
Then one-day
PKD came her way
It made her so sick and full of dismay
Her will was strong
She fought for so long
Then one day she was barely alive
To think she was only five
One day she could no longer walk
On that day her vet and I had to talk
We both knew it was time to let her go
But it filled me with such woe
