My Cat Poem by Laurena Pamela Willetts

She looks at me mischieviously
She flicks her tail with an air of disdain
There is a wisdom in her eyes
She see beyond me to another plane

She is my constant companion
Yet I never feel I own her
She is a law unto herself
Woe betide you if you cross her

We are alike my cat and I
Both independent to a tee
With marked respect to each other
A wide berth given when need be

We have an understanding
She knows when I am sa d
She gently licks away my tears
Her paws kneading in my lap

I feel she will not be here long
We both are growing old
Who goes first my biggest worry
who is left will suffer most
