if cats could talk....

if cats could talk, they wouldn't. ~nan porter

soul sister
i never really liked cats, appreciated cats...
understood cats...until now. 
now i live with a cat. 
two actually 
and have found
a new meaning to the phrase soul sister.
these feline friendlies have become endeared to
me in the most unexpected of ways...
this morning when i needed
it the most 
(and didn't realize such...or admit to such...)
i had my hand held by my furry friend
all 11 pounds of her purring long haired torso was
anchored on my heart
her sand paper tongue
licking me
what a welcome to the day
at least i wasn't going to be late for work

stress had really been taking it's toll 
lately,
i had been so exhausted..she must
have known i needed a little loving
i
because she was there for me
i could feel the love
the encouragement

i still can't say i understand cats, 
but i will say, i really love mine!

have a little faith in me: john hiatt

When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Just let my love throw a spark
And have a little faith in me
And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try
And have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

And when your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here darling, from a whisper start
And have a little faith in me
And when your back’s against the wall
Just turn around and you, you will see
I will catch you, I will catch your fall
Just have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

‘Cause I’ve been loving you, for such a long, long time
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend
‘Cause for us, there is no end
And all you gotta do, is have a little faith in me
I will hold you up, I will hold you up
And your love, gives me strength enough to
Have a little faith in me
Hey hey
All you gotta do for me girl
Is have a little faith in me
