Eyes closed with peaceful dreams flowing through my mind,
Slowly you creep the length of my bed
Trying to see if I am awake.
Poking and prodding
Trying to get me to open my eyes.
I know you are there but I pretend to be sleeping,
If only for a few moments before you start to whine.
A soft touch against my cheek
I know this is the last straw,
Before your mouth opens
And my day has to begin.
Slowly I roll over
Pushing you into the middle of the bed.
I open one eye,
And then the other.
Smiling
At the innocent face that stares back at me.
I pull you closer to me and embrace you in my arms.
Stroking your soft fur
And listening to you pur.
My little kitten.
