The Older Cat
I'm
not so young or fair of face.
And
there'll be times I want my space.
I might
sleep more then be awake
But
give me time... your heart I'll take.
I'm
an older cat, my ways are set.
And
you may wonder what you'll get.
But
I'm calm and wise and you might find
That
I can give you peace of mind.
I might
be passive - not want to play
But
before you know they'll come a day
When
you're sad or down, I'll take my nap
And
you'll find love sleeping on your lap.
I watch
the youngsters leave their cage.
Their
lives are new... an empty page.
But
an older cat can teach you much.
And
all I ask is a gentle touch.
