In the evening of my life

 
In the evening of my life,
In the calm I found companionship
Not in the bustle of the day
But in a faithful friend
He was a stray wanderer,
His coat cold and his stomach empty
But his free spirit
like infinite sky
With a gentle touch I called him
And he confidently followed me
To my abode faithfully as a shadow
Today he is more than my kitten,
he's my soul mate, light in the darkness
When I speak he listens,
answering not with words
But with pure love
that in his eyes beats
And with tender tongues
He licks my tired hands
His company is balm for my soul
Like the stars,
He guides my steps always calmly.
