Come Home Cat (November 2006)

A hospital stay
Over the holidays
Makes us all realize
How much you mean to us

Like a puzzle with a missing piece
The landscape
Is just not complete
When you’re not around

It’s like burgers with no fries
Pizza without pepperoni
Or
(Your favorite)
chocolate chip ice cream
without the mint

Your smile
warms a room
like a raging fire
Your laugh can energize
a city street
And you dance enchantingly

It’s like turning on a light
When the bulb blows out
No light
No brightness

It’s damn near impossible
To find anyone
Whose ever met you
That doesn’t think that you’re the best

That's because you are the best
And we love you very much

Get well quick and come back home
This place
Just isn’t the same
Without you!
