A Poem for My Cat

Oh little creature
You don't even know how much you have brightened up my days
Just by your mere existence
You have brought me pure joy in so many ways

I love the sound of your meow
And the hum of your gentle purr
When you are lying on my lap
And I am stroking your soft fur

I like the way we play
When I wave your feather toy around
You jump up to bat at it and do funny flips
And then land safely back on the ground

I like when you brush against my leg in the morning
When you want to be fed
I love how you cuddle up next to me
While I am lying in bed

I feel like you just know
When I am feeling down
Because those are the times
That you always come around

Oh little creature
Without you, what would I do?
You probably don't even know
Just how very much I love you
