Baby

By Wallace - 23 January 08

You were my baby
Tiny tabby cat
You were so dainty
Sitting on my lap

You followed me around
Grey inquisitive eyes
Slept gently beside me
In my bed every night

I held you tight
I couldn't let you go
You never got any bigger
Why didn't you grow

The vet said your heart
It wasn't strong enough
I heard it beating
While my own heart was bleeding

You died in that cold office
Only three months old
You were my baby
The sweetest cat I have known
