This Feline of Mine
Soft silky fur, velvet toes
Follow me wherever I go
Luminous eyes, large and green
The guardian of my nightime dreams.
Padded paws, tiny pink nose
Scratchy wet kisses, oh no one knows
The joy she brings my life each day
What comfort I feel that she came to stay.
Curled next to my pillow
Each night while I sleep
Her warmth fills my bed
Purrs rumbling so deep.
She turns 'round in a circle
Each night before bed
Flips her tail in my face
And lays down near my head.
Gives a lick to my hand
And a kiss to my nose
Snuggles beside me and
Like a light, out she goes.
Her whiskers tickle my face
When I wake
Get up and feed me,
For goodness sakes!
She knows what she wants
So easy to please
Fancy Feast, catnip and
A warm pair of knees.
A chair by the screen door
To watch the birds feed
Pillows on the porch swing
To sleep while I read.
No fancy toys for this
Feline of mine
Her mousie, a necktie
Suit her just fine.
A better companion
Won't be found if you try!
When I need a friend
She's always close by.
