She Makes Me Smile

Satiny paw pads tap my cheek and I awake to the tickle of whiskers upon my nose. With another morning begun, a lulling purr produces a giggle and I open my eyes to my furry friend. Breakfast is a matter of egg-sharing; but she prefers a little cheese in her eggs. Bored with the usual fare I look up to find a yogurt faced kitten. It’s these precious and all too brief, moments that produce new meaning within each day.

She has always awakened me this way, I even recall whiskers on the edges of my mouth when I was lying there with my mouth open. I'd feel a tickle, open my eyes and she'd be looking down there, I guess wondering what was making that snoring sound. I sleep on my side or stomach now. Thanks Vijay.
