Share your dreams......

Open the window and let the warmth in,
no rain today, not a cloud in view.
Will anyone notice if I sprawl out up here?
Stretch my legs, yawn and stare out too?

Just a brightly lit day and it feels so good,
even my paws are feeling warm as toast.
Such a wonderful oportunity just to be lazy,
no kneading, no mouse hunts, just sit and coast.

With three other siblings life is never quiet,
running, climbing, but oh, no not today.
On this special day the window seat is mine,
but I see a reflection, someone is coming my way.

Jumping up wanting a window seat too,
okay, okay, I will move over just a bit.
One half is yours, one half is mine,
just to be certain we can both fit.

While all is quiet and the others slumber,
the two of us indulge in quality time.
Cuddle up close and share your dreams,
of what we conquer while still in our prime.

Together we will remember fun times we had,
hide and seek, chasing squirrels, climbing trees.
Anticipating new adventures yet unknown,
to frolic in the flower bed stalking bees.

Hiding slippers and chewing on old socks,
running up and down stairs, opening doors.
Teasing the others, hiding in towels,
dashing about scratching all the floors.

Jumping up on the table when dinner is served,
running off with food before we get caught.
Exploring the woods, hiding in tall grass,
waiting to see what new toys are bought.

Open the window and let the warmth in,
no rain today, not a cloud in view.
Will anyone notice if I sprawl out up here?
Stretch my legs, yawn and stare out too?

           Harold died today 11/17/2009

**Harold belongs to my brother and wife. He was a long time friend, companion and lover of life for over sixteen years. He fought bravely an illness that ultimately took his life and now he rests comfortably in God's hands in the garden of St. Francis, where he can see, run, and frolic forever.

   We love you Harold, God bless you always.....
