Hensley The Cat
|
Hensley was a yellow cat
as big as he could be And every night I'd stroke his fur as he slept next to me |
 |
|
He'd spend his days in our backyard
and late at night he'd roam but one March night he walked away and never came back home |
|
|
I made some signs with colored pens
and put them all around "LOST CAT" I wrote in pink and blue, "PLEASE RETURN IF FOUND" |
 |
|
A week went by without a word
I cried at night in bed But then a boy called on the phone, "I found your cat," he said |
 |
|
"I found him lying in the street,"
the boy said quietly, "It must have been a passing car. I'm sorry as can be." |
 |
|
I hung his picture on my wall
next to his favorite toy I wrote, "I'll miss you everyday with all my heart. Love, Joy" |
 |
|
Although my Hensley's gone away
There's still a cause to sing My mommy said an angel found a yellow cat with wings |
