MY LITTLE LOVE

As I was drowsing off,
I felt you walking on the bed.
I listened for your purr
And reached to stroke your silky fur.
But, you were not there.
My little love was gone.
Somehow, I know you will return.
You were such a special cat.
Though your footsteps
Be oh so light,
I will feel you near.
Your purr may be oh so faint
But, I will hear.
