I remember the first day,
When you came to my house.
A special day, unlike any other.
Starting a new chapter, my life anew.
You came, timid and afraid,
Crying through the night, I couldn’t bear.
Despite my illness, I chose to be with you.
You follow me around,
Sad eyes when I head to work each day,
A happy welcome when I return.
Sleep by my side every night.
I love to talk to you,
Even if my words you can't understand.
When I'm down, your gentle massage,
Brings me comfort, meaning so much.
I know it is not always happy,
At times, you are a bit annoying
But getting mad? I can't.
Your cuteness is beyond compare.
Writing this as you peacefully sleep.
Grateful for you, my heart has said.
Thank you for the trust you have shown,
My dear cat, Curly.
