Sammy’s lying on your side

At last I think she feels you there

An answer to her feline prayer;

A loving spent undenied

Sammy is now content and purring

I think she feels your spirit stirring

She’s learned at last- love will not die

You do not haunt, you light the air

You laugh and misery and despair

Depart - for Sammy, dear, and I

Are glad to be here, where you are

And truth to tell, you’re never far

Sammy’s gone- the intensity

Of your presence is fine for me

For her, a little too much maybe.
