I searched for unconditional love
A companion I would have for life
And then I unexpectedly found it
In a pair of sleepy Egyptian eyes

Those big blue green diamonds
His love was sent from up high
The strongest bond then shockingly shattered
I begged God from the floor to pause the time

He was attached to my hip
Through many sad sleepless nights
Then his absence punctured a hole
That destroyed my soul and my mind

Now there's cats on the table
And cats on the chairs
It's taken one of every color
To evaporate my tears

In the morning I still wake
Under warm layers of fur
When I serve a sunrise breakfast
Little eyes and ears are perked

If I'm gone for far too long
I'm rushed with loving worry
Rewarded with sweet whisker kisses
As those reminiscent eyes look up at me

I've never felt a love
More genuine or profound
Than earning a cats affection
And being chosen as part of the crowd

I'm starting a collection
To fill a void the first one left behind
He was the greatest love I've ever known
That little black cat I held so tight

I might be a little crazy now
But to my loving cats I am God
And my home will never be unhappy
As long as there's cats sunbathing in the yard
