Lindy Cat

Lindy Cat was my greatest swing partner
Together we mastered the art of aerials
She did back flips over me
Leapt to and from my shoulder
Eggbeatered below me
Floor swept around me
Handstands on my shoulders
Eventually we even mastered
Double Around the Worlds
She was amazing

Learning all these stunts was not a simple task
Along the way there were spills and slips and falls
Every time she hoped back up ready for more
She was amazing

One day I lost my balance and fell
I panicked and ran away
To this day it still catches my breath
The pains of our fall still linger
Like an old injury
Aching before the rain falls from my cheeks
She fought for me
Chased me down and loved me
Loved me until the pain of missing her
Was greater than our injury
She was amazing

Now a lifetime later
She has moved on
Fallen in and out of love
Started a family
Found happiness
She is still amazing

It is to her you should send thanks
When my heart was yours
There were spills and slips and falls
Every time I hoped back up ready for more
That is how she taught me to love
She was amazing

A lifetime later
What I wouldn't trade
To have returned the strength she had lended me
When she needed me the most
She was amazing

Lindy Cat was my greatest partner
She was amazing
