Many years have quickly passed on by
since i was born naked into this world
tucked deep in soft belly fur I curled
when the evening sun would leave the sky
Many years it took for me to learn
that my place on this earth was planned
and my job to catch furry mice was grand
and for their lives show no concern
Many years have I taken a place of pride
stealing the very best spot to sleep
and there I huddle down and peep
eyes barely moving but open wide
Many years a friend to man and son
a companion to each one in turn
and from these times I quickly learn
a friendship that could not be undone
Many years I've climbed that Xmas tree
filled with pretty baubles, bells and lights
and when reaching to those dizzy heights
they would come chasing after me.
Many years that twittering bird has sung
from its golden cage high on the stand
but feathers within my paws were planned
and his squawking taste upon my tongue
Many years I've teased that crazy hound
and made his canine life hell, with glee
as I escaped to the old oak tree
while he stayed down there on the ground
Many years have passed and life takes toll
his creaking bones and health give way
but nine lives I have and I will stay
the family around me to console.
