CAT PHILES

Mark's Loves

Jake, you're my Forevercat

Jake, you are my best friend that I've ever had
You kiss me to cheer me up when things are going bad
The sixteen years you've been with me are not nearly enough
Jake, you're my Forevercat, and you're really up to snuff.

I give you food and change your pan with a happy grin
You eat your little bowl of fish and I give you insulin
I must be home at five o'clock to do this every day
Jake, you're my Forevercat, and this never gets in the way.

I spend my nights cuddled up to you and your soft fur
Down in your direction I hear your pleasant purr
I look into you eyes and see the love there that you give
Jake, you're my Forevercat, and I just want you to live.

And when you jump into my lap and knead me with your paws
I gaze upon your wondrous self and can't find any flaws
I am joyful and I'm strengthened by the love you give to me
Jake, you're my Forevercat and together we'll always be.
