He comes to me when I feel low. He looks and senses that somehow. He gives me reassurance when I feel alone. He never angers and never moans.
He's been my friend and confidente, For 15 years and not been paid a cent. I value him above all my friends. We don't fight so no need for amends.
He loves me unconditionally, And I love him as he loves me. No other has so consistently Seen me thru troubles and adversity.
When I am blue he knows that too. He keeps me company just we two. When I am feeling tired or sick He comes to me and shares a lick.
If I'm restless and in bed cold He marches in oh so very bold. He wraps around my feet and toes And I really think he truly knows.
He never goes and he never strays. I'll hold him dear til his final days. He doesn't have any bad habits, Unless you consider chasing rabbits.
If you wonder who would be so loyal Tis my cat that treats me royal. He is now old and getting thin But a true and tried friend he's been.
Occassionally complains, seems to talk, Only because I forget to clean his litterbox. l'll love him fiercely 'til he's passed away. And will grieve untold in my own way.
