Still as silence, you healed me.
Your wisdom beyond my knowledge, your
Approval bestowed by simply being.
You, a burnished artifact from a pharaoh’s tomb
As you slept in my arms.
You touch me when I least expect,
Surprising me around a corner,
Greeting me with steadfast gaze.
And when we rest, you graze my thigh to let me know
You are not a shadow.
I hear your tiny breaths, and
Bring you toward me. Your body
Responds -- chest, legs, toes.
And you massage my belly, tongue-kiss my cheek,
As silver filaments caress my face.
No matter where I venture or
How far beyond, you welcome me back
Without reprimand,
No green-eyed monster lurking in your emerald eyes.
Yet I do not always please you, and I work to
Gain your trust. Ah
Sweetie, your love may be conditional,
But mine is eternal.

Yes, it’s Sweetie, my cat. Born on 9/11, she came to me as a kitten in November, 2001, a week after my husband died. She has been a true and affectionate companion since that day.
Happy Valentine’s Day to Sweetie and to all the beloved pets on OS
