This little cat can sing a bird

Right out of a tree.

Her diminutive chirps and coos

Whistle a wistful melody

That charms, and disarms them.

The come mesmerized and bow down in front of her feet,

And sacrifice their very lives in love for her,

A love that’s stronger than death perhaps,

And twice as terrifying.

I am not afraid to show my love.

I am not afraid to give myself away

In a marriage that doesn't matter to anyone

But me, for I have seen Love in the face of death,

And death on the face of Love and Life.
