The cat looks so comfortable now
Cuddling on my husband’s lap
(It’s his turn now)
She stares at me
With eyes squinted just a little
She’s completely at ease
We love you, I tell her
Then I tell her
I’m sorry you couldn’t stay with your first family
I’m sorry your first human died
But I promise you
We will love you for the rest of your life
She resumes her grooming
Melted across his legs
Clearly, she is home now
Here, with us
And we are happy
