3 toms came by my place

they say a dog with heart so wide
will love you more than your own pride
more than the hate you hold inside
a loyal soul that wont divide

but cats too have their gentle grace
three toms came by my quiet place
they laid beside me soft and still
till pain had passed and i felt will

but cats too have their gentle grace
three toms came by my quiet place
they laid beside me soft and still
till pain had passed and i felt will

the skies grew calm the streets went bare
no junkies came no heavy air
and if they did with stealth and might
the cats would chase them out of sight

so if youre lost without a clue
a pet might be the path for you
it need not bark or purr or sing
it could be almost anything

a bird who lives behind a cage
a phasmatid on leafy stage
a hamster spinning through the day
in circles never led astray

for animals they never lie
they never cheat they never try
to judge your clothes or bank account
or who you date or your amount

they simply love without a scheme
no filters masks or selfish dream
theyre always real they never fake
a kind of love we rarely make

so if youre drowning in despair
reach for a paw a wing some care
theyll sit with you through darkest night
and bring you back into the light
