My Cat

My cat, Shameem
Loved to hop
On my lap
Whenever I sat
On my cozy chair
And rocked
I felt her paws
It was kind 
Of a mystic feeling
She was very soft 
And fluffy
She had sparkling eyes
Her ears
Very sensitive velvet
She used to observe 
Everything and purr
When she sighted a bird
She chuckled
Sometimes she played
Hide and seek
She crawled and paused
Then ran swiftly
She adored her milk every day

She was my best friend
When I was a kid
I still remember her
And miss her very much

Irfanulla, congratulations on becoming a permanent part of PS. I read all the poems posted on your intro page, and you express a level of happiness and joy that I rarely see. From what I know, that means you have been able to forgive anything that has happened to you and move on. That is truly unusual, and your poetry is a real treat and inspiration for those who haven't been able to accomplish what you've done. The world is truly a beautiful place for those of us who have enough to get by.
