My Heart Aches

She must set a world record

for being oh so cute.

Every second with her is peaceful;

for her gentle purr, there is no substitute.

All I want to do is tell her

how she has settled in my heart.

She is all I ever dream of

and I never want to part.

I always want her near

and hope she stays awake

for when she is asleep

she makes my heart ache.
