I haven’t left
I sat on your bed last night
I came to have a peep,
I could see that you were crying
and you found it hard to sleep,
I Purred to you softly
as you brushed away a tear,
its me’ I haven’t left you, I’m well
I’m fine, I’m here,
I was close to you at breakfast
I watched you pour your tea,
you were thinking of the many times
your hands reached out to me,
I walked with you towards the house
as you fumbled for your key,
I gently put my Paw on you
I smiled and said 'its me'
you looked so very tired
and sank into a chair,
I tried so hard to let you know
that I was standing there,
its possible for me to be
so near to you every day,
to say to you with certainty
I never went away,
you sat there very quietly then smiled
I think you knew,
in the stillness of the evening
I was very close to you,
now the day is over.....I Purr
and watch you yawning,
and say good night, god bless,
i'll see you in the morning,
and when the time is right for you
to cross the brief divide,
i'll rush across to greet you
and we'll stand side by side,
I have so many things to show you
there is so much for you to see,
be patient, live your journey out
then come home to be with me.
