Heart Of Gold

She looks at me with black scratched eyes
Silently telling me she loves me
At night she keeps me company
Her colourful worn out fur soft as silk
against my cheek while I quietly dream

We share secrets that she can never tell
So loyal and special since my first Christmas day
We have been inseparable

She’s comforts me when I'm upset
And at night she makes me feel safe
I squeeze her tightly and she rattles
As I roll around in my bed

Nose repaired, ear stitched on
She smiles through it all
Because underneath her broken bits
She has a heart of gold

She smells like home & holds my memories
My love
My Family
And Me
