Jack Jack

Our special one-eyed boy. He shared a colony with Glutsy and Sweetpea.

No one knows how you lost your eye,
Yet still, you watched the world from high.
In your single gaze, there burned a fire,
A spirit fierce, never to tire.

You’d call to us, your voice so clear,
“Bring my food, I’m waiting here!”
A sound so bold, it touched the sky,
An echo of strength, no reason to hide.

From your secret spot, you’d rise,
A grey tabby with ancient eyes.
Scarred but noble, proud and true,
A silent king in all you knew.

Once, among the blooms so bright,
You lay in branches, hidden from sight.
Your head poked through the flowers’ hue,
Bougainvillea blossoms framing you.

A quiet king, in your leafy throne,
In Jack’s Den, you were never alone.
The world could turn, storms could roar,
But in your realm, you held the floor.

Seasons passed, and time moved on,
But your watch remained till the dawn.
A sentinel beneath the skies,
With wisdom shining from your eyes.

Now you rest in skies so high,
Where no pain can touch, no need to cry.
Our one-eyed boy, forever true,
In every flower, we’ll think of you.

Though your throne now stands unfilled,
And the nights grow cold, the air is stilled.
Your memory lives in every breeze,
In whispers through the dancing trees.

So here’s to Jack, the one who stayed,
A loyal heart that never swayed.
In Jack’s Den, where shadows play,
Your spirit lingers every day.
