NIGHT CAT

GOODNIGHT CAT

Like a shadow
She moves across the floor
As silent as a hush
Slipping stealthily past the door
Never any rush

Creeping to her favourite spot
Where the sunlight points a finger
She sits and trembles with a purr
Always time to linger

As daylight fades &; darkness wakes
She stretches in a yawn
All the mysteries of the night await
So goodnight, my cat, `till Dawn.
