Soft and furry.
Tender eyes of longing.
Quietly tips and gently purrs.

It touches here and touches there.
It gives pure joy and inspires hope
In the countless hearts everywhere.

Like the blind—

Giving from the heart
With a spirit full and free,

Than the other seasons.
The shadows are long, and the days

In our quaint little town.
The hard, white stuff
Came beating down.
