As I sit and cuddle Tommy
I'm thinking about love
What it gives and how it comforts,
God's gift from up above.
For you
For me, all our lives through
Onwards
when ever we're in need
Just look closely and you will see
God's love taking the lead

Beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing.
You've done really well with this form, Emma. The lines come naturally and your idea flows through to the conclusion.
Happy New Year!
Yes, it is so, and flows well into this form.
Very nice message in this poem, Emma. You definitely mastered the form.
Such a lovely message ~ Thanks for sharing it ~
What I find most endearing is the wonderful photo of the kitty and its special person. Lovely.
Delightful, Emma. Warm and sweet without being the least bit sappy.
