Again I feel the softness of your touch upon my face.
Waking me from sweet gentle sleep to make my spirit race.
You speak to me in muted tones where you and I relate.
I know the love you hold inside that you can never state.

You look at me with gold flecked eyes and smile in your way.
And speak to me of all the things that you can never say.
You follow me from room to room just trying to be close.
You show me that of all you have you cherish me the most.

I speak to you cause no ones here, it's you and I alone.
I appreciate how comfortable our silences have grown.
But tell you that soon you'll have to share me once again.
My husband will be home real soon, but I'm all yours 'til then.

Silently you lean on me and I see your eyes grow sad.
Knowing we will loose the special moments that we've had.
My heart will hold a special place for you of that be sure.
I tell you that I love you as I stroke your silver fur.

With perseverance even the snail reached the Ark.

Yes He is my pet.. the other great love of my life... My Russian Blue Tomcat.. He has the softest silkiest silver fur ever. And all the attitude a girl can stand. giggle... He loves me.. but hates to share my time! I've taught him to talk, if you can believe it.. he says MaMa.. smile.. and when he gets outside to fight with the other tomcats the Meows he uses are distinctly different then the others. So much so that he can bring people out of their houses thinking that a child is screaming.. haha, I get well natured complaints from the neighbors all the time.. Guess thats what I get for teachin him to talk.
