Santa Knows

As Christmas time approaches
I look back over the year,
and thank God for my shelter kitty
and the meaning of the season is clear.

My life has so much more purpose
and is so much happier too,
since she gave me all of her love
and made every day brand new.

Her wonderment at the Christmas
lights brings us both such delight.
She makes me laugh at her antics,
she curls up close to me at night.

She likes the tree and ornaments
and the tinsel and garland too.
She listens to the Christmas carols
and 'helps' with the gift wrapping I do.

She has brought such love and laughter
and as the year comes to a close...
I treasure my 'pound purrie'.
I'm lucky to have her, Santa knows.
