He is sweet of soul,
Kind of heart,
And gentle of mind.
A blaze runs up his docile head.
A tender meow is simply said.
His innocent gaze peers into my mind.
Mice he lays upon the piano, for us to find.
After a long day he often pounces.
Now he is fully grown.
Yet when he was little he was but a few ounces,
The original runt, he grew fast.
A small smile is always to last.

Comforting when sad,
Calming while mad,
Curiosity streams through him.
He is tolerant and kind,
An eight-week-old puppy,
With which he plays,
Is how he spends most o fhis days.
Curled up in the blankets, sweet and warm.
He is sweet of soul,
Kind of heart,
And gentle of mind.
