The Shadow Behind Me
Most want to call her a familiar,I find this notion somwhat peculiar
For shen she came to me her children & claws stolen,
Her spirit and heart broken.
I only offered her the food at my table,
And a home that was stable.
With a promise of love & affection,
And all she could want of my attention
In her eyes you'll find a quite pride,
It isn't something she tries to hide
As her bruised and bettered soul began to heal,
Our bond became stronger then steel.
I have earned her trust & respect,
For in me she knows what she can expect.
A kindred spirit and a friend
A love that will never bend
With me she now makes her bed
On the pillow next to my head
With fur as soft as can be
An inner glow for all to see
She has a coat as black as night
With her yellow eyes sheis quite a site.
For in her I havea friend forever
And it is a friendship that I will treasure
A better friend I could never find
And she is never far behind
The Shadow you see following me,
That is my cat Emily
