Promises From a Cat
The promises you made to us are priceless.
Even if they were never spoken.
You promised to follow us on each of our journeys.
While we would grow up, you would stay small.
But that does not mean your love for us stayed idle.
Or that you would simply become a fixture.
You started off curious.
And eventually become less inhibited.
More than some compulsion for food.
You learned to cherish us.
Just as we cherished you from the start.
