My Cat

By Julia Kemp

Are cats beings of the night?

Mysterious, elegant, dark?

Maybe, but not mine

My Cat’s a sunshine beam

Glittering light shines in her twinkling eyes

Her cheeks are pink as sunrise

And her lips pinker still

Her voice is sweet and kind

Loud and booming and bright

She’ll make your head turn

I’m sure

When she cries the city lights go out

The skies grow dark and cold

But her smile smells of morning buns and honey comb

They’re the twist in your stomach when your hugged

She’s pumpkin bread

She’s raindrops on forest leaves

She’s coming home after a long trip

She’s my Cat, my sister, my love
