Goodbye Gandalf

. . . . . . . . . . Gandalf we named him
. . . . . . . . . . Shy and half wild
. . . . . . . . . . He of the Golden Eyes
. . . . . . . . . . He with of the rich grey fur

. . . . . . . . . . Gandalf the Grey
. . . . . . . . . . A cat of wary ways
. . . . . . . . . . without a home
. . . . . . . . . .content to roam

. . . . . . . . . . He learned from us
. . . . . . . . . . and we from him
. . . . . . . . . . He came to trust us
. . . . . . . . . . and we to need him.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . (poem by Michael Becker)
