On that Valentine’s Day, when our cat went away....
I had reason to watch my girls cry....
I can never reveal the emotion I feel....
With your patience, I’m sure gonna try....
‘Twas a gift from a friend; would it all never end?....
For we had enough mouths now to feed....
A small kitten, you see, they named “Puppy” with glee....
And a cat’s one thing I’d never need....
All emotion I lacked. So indifferent, in fact....
I did nothing to show any care....
Pray then, why did she purr, when I sat close to her....
Indeed, why brush my hand with her hair?....
Yes, it really was strange, and I witnessed a change....
In my feelings toward simply a cat....
‘Cause the love that she earned, was as simply returned....
And indifference just vanished, like that!....
But my love I would hide and I kept it inside....
‘Cause I guess you could say I was scared....
So, instead of a smile, I’d just hold back awhile....
There was time yet to show that I cared....
But a car came along, and our “Puppy” is gone....
To a place with her Master above....
And somewhere in the blue, she is teaching them, too....
If you want to be loved, you must love....
