The King

by Victoria Pittore

I hear your purr at all times of the day,

like a king on his throne staring back.

You lay at my feet after you play.

If you would like food you make sure to say,

in a sweet little meow, that I want a snack.

I hear your purr at all times of the day.

I never again want to know what it’s like when you are away.

My heart ached and tears filled my eyes until I got you back.

You lay at my feet after you play.

You are my little shadow that will always stay

right by my side in your little shack.

I hear your purr at all times of the day.

You play with your toys every minute of the day,

never knowing when you will attack.

You lay at my feet after you play.

You are my little fur baby everyday,

you and your family are part of the pack.

I hear your purr at all times of the day.

You lay at my feet after you play.
