I'm getting on in years
my coat is turning grey.
My eyes have lost their luster
my hearing is just okay.

I spend my whole day dreaming
of conquests in the past.
Lying near a sunny window
waiting for its warm repast.

I remember our first visit
I was coming to you free
Hoping you would take me in
and keep me company.

I wasn't young or handsome
two years I'd roamed the streets
There were scars upon myface
I hobbled on my feet.

I could sense your disappointment
as I left my prison cage
Oh, I hoped you would accept me
and look beyond my age.

You took me without pity
I accepted without shame
Then you grew to love me
and I admit the same.

I have shared with you your laughter
you have wet my fur with tears,
We've come to know each other
throughout these many years.

Just one more hug this morning
before you drive away
And know I'll think about you
throughout your busy day.

The time we've left together
is a treasured time at that,
My heart is yours forever
I promise...........this old cat.
