I love you so much
Though you’re just a little ball of fur
You always make me smile,
Every time you purr
The morning starts
With you waking me up
Your meows won’t cease
Until I fill your cup
You take a few bites
Then we run around and play
Hiding behind your toys
You could pounce on things all day
When I have to go to work
You hang out by yourself
I always wonder what you’re up to
When everything’s knocked over on itself
Yet, when I come home
You’re right there at the door
You try to get your love in
While rolling around on the floor
These special moments
That I have with you
Remind me I’m okay
And whisk away my blue
If you keep purring
While coming to me
Keep pouncing and chasing
And kneading your paws on me
Then I know I’m doing something right
By one animal on this earth
The days you’re by my side
My heart is filled with mirth
