He loves me like that...

a soft tender touch

a gentle stroke of the spine..

...a deep look into her eyes;

hoping she can see the love i have for she...

 

waking up in the middle of the night

just to check on you;

and to make sure you're still breathing and comfortable..

sometimes you wake me up wanting to play

or cuddle up somewhere near me..

 

i begin to miss you when i am away..and

even when i am home...and

you're just in the next room..

 

you've brought so much love

into my heart and this home..

...i never thought

i could love something

so much as i love you,Etta..

you're so precious to me.

 

you came into my life

when i needed to feel whole in my soul again...

...and you chose me;

you came right to me...

did you feel my needing energies...

 

I have never felt closer to God..

i feel alive inside..

..when i watch you play,

watch you bathe in the water bowl...

or how you follow me around

"speaking" your calico language..

 

when i come home;you make me feel special

when you abandon your under bed "hammock"

to "tell" me about your day...

...when you walk across my aching back;

just when i need a healing touch to soothe...

...i know that there has to be a God...

 

when i swoop you up from the floor,

and hold you in my arms...i feel so much love...

...i don't know if could love you more;

i've heard mothers speak of the love for their children;

and i love you that way...

...and you are my "child"

 

at these times,

i feel a lovable spirit..

and it is presented to me..

that this is the way that God loves me..

 

He sees me as His precious little child,

letting me know He is never too far away...

He picks me up when He sees me in pain or distress

showing me that i matter;that i am important to Him..

 

He feeds me when i am hungry and....

when i am thirsty He refreshes me

He comforts me and welcomes me into His arms

no matter what i have done..or how long i have "been away"

from His love and the grace;He is my Father

i don't know if He could love me more

if He birthed me..

 

when i look into Etta's eyes as she lays in my arms,

i am always reminded that...

 

....He,

God loves me like that....

Oh man, an ode to your wonderfull cat Etta
I am a cat lover myself so i have to sayI love this
I thought you were referencing a woman up untill the obvious
'watch you bathe in your water bowl' I figured this wasn't a woman
but damn you so nicely put this thing together and cats are mysterious but
they are damn smart. 'Calico language' damn good stuff, bro
