"You
feel more like home to me than any place I've ever been."
Angela
N. Blount
Three years ago, you came to stay,
a tiny light on a quiet day.
Soft little paws, bright shining eyes,
a gentle heart, a comforting size.
I didn’t know what you would be,
or just how much you’d mean to me.
But slowly, softly, day by day,
you curled beside the parts that fray.
Ruby, my soul cat, warm and near,
you always seem to know I’m here.
On days when thoughts feel hard and loud,
you sit with me inside the cloud.
And through the house with curious stare
you watch two friends who wander there.
Luna and Evie hop and play,
your rabbit sisters every day.
Three gentle souls beneath one roof,
a quiet kind of living proof
that love can grow in simple ways
through ordinary, tender days.
So, here’s to you, my Ruby bright—
my little comfort, day and night.
Happy third birthday, soul cat of mine,
your heart forever close to mine.
