Fixed in Time
Stay with little one
never ever stray
always by my side
to keep the fear away
ceramic feline friend
always on the shelf
along with the dozens
of kitties next to you
never to disappoint
or chastise with abuse
you are the perfect partner
on the mantel of my heart
I’ve had you for years
center of my life
moved from house to home
each place our new abode
some would have you speak
to move beyond the ledge
you’re in the perfect place
to ease my life of dread
you see my small companion
you’ll let me down
forever fixed in time
never to desert
others have come and gone
quit their place from me
as my misery grows
I look to you to berth
with all your friends
I’ll never be alone
safe from the outside world
as you keep the fear away.
