: Looking After You.

I deliver the meal that was carefully
timed to coincide with your arrival.
You sit in your favorie armchair,
its cushions plumped to perfection
and settle, thoroughly exhausted
from your nighly roamimg
I watch as home comfort gently
soaks into your soul,
and I smile and tell you
that I love you.
I gently stoke your brow
as you drift into sleep
Even knowing that come darkness,
you will again be overcome
by your instinctive urge to wander.
Unable to resist.
yet regardless of your independence.
I will forever continue to feed and nurture
and care for you.
Because with cats
thats just the way it is.

by Ven.
