Lyric

Softly in sunlight, curled up so small

Dozing beside me, peaceful and warm

This ordinary scene, I took for granted

Just you being there, eased my heart

One day, a tiny life appeared

In the garden, drawing near

With gentle eyes and no fear

Like you had always been family

I reached out for that little warmth

Dreaming we’d smile and live together

A quiet voice rose in my chest

“I want this child to know real happiness”

That’s what I wished for

You, once so kind, grew distant

With unfamiliar eyes you turned away

Still, you came to eat your meal

But your back always faced me soon

A restless stirring deep inside

Two kinds of love, pulling both ways

We chose together, just one path

To see your smile return again

Crying as I held the kitten close

Whispering a soft “I’m sorry”

I loved you with all my heart

But the thought of losing you forever

Was my greatest fear

That day, the door quietly opened

And your familiar voice called my name

Before I could say “Welcome back”

You leapt to my lap, purring sweetly

The day you finally came back home

My heart found peace again

I may not be strong enough for all

But your smile is enough for me

That little back I once held close

Still appears in my dreams sometimes

May I never forget your warmth

Thank you, little one. Truly, thank you
