To a Cat
|
When my world comes crashing down around me
You cheer me
With kittenish rampages through the room.
When the world seems devoid of beauty
You sit so handsome,
So perfectly poised.
When I feel old and tired
You greet me
Like a long lost friend.
When I feel lonely
You follow me,
Tripping my feet,
Staying by my side,
Always near.
And when at night I cry for my friends
You reassure me
Everything will be all right;
You show me by your quiet trust
How I should trust my Lord.
I wish you could understand these words—
But I know you need no words
To understand me.
