A Friendly Pet

 

God must have put a lot of thought

Into my every day,

He sent me such a friendly pet

To run and hide and play.

 

Her antics of hilarity

Are fun that never end,

And I can count the many ways

She tells me she's my friend.

 

Our pet was such a tiny one

When first that she arrived,

With softest fur and faintest purr

And much to my surprise

 

No one would claim this little one

It seem she had no home,

With pleading eyes and kitty sighs

She promised not to roam.

 

God surely must have sent my way

To keep my company,

This little friend who likes to play

And run and hide from me.
