I will start by saying I did not write this. It was written for me. I wanted to share it with you all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where I Need To Be
(By Tmax)

I've looked around, I've been here and there
Had itchy feet, empty heart, no cares
Not knowing where to stop, where to land
Looking to find that heart and that hand

But I've found that place, that heart, that hand
I care not again to roam the land
There is a place not found on a map
Comforting, a kitten in my lap

Gazing into her eyes, making me whole
Searching in my heart, baring my soul
This place of which I speak, you will see
Is a place I've found, I need to be

Her wit, her beauty, her love, her charms
All this I'm blessed to hold in my arms
Only with her is my spirit free
This is the place, where I need to be

There are many wonders the world round
But of all the marvels that I've found
The greatest, a kitten showed to me
Is at her side, where I need to be

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
for Kitkat, who reached inside of me
found my hidden places
and showed me where I need to be

Very very sweet.  Animals can be the best comfort of all.  They play a big part in everyones life.

Tis a beauty for sure....dont blame you for wanting to share it.  You must be so proud and of course you should be.  This shows admiration given back to one who has given of herself.....you deserve it and much more.

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.
