Ode to Olive

In the soft glow of the evening light, 

You curl beside me, a comforting sight, 

With a gentle purr, you chase away fears, 

In your warm presence, I find peace from tears. 

Your emerald gaze, so wise and bright, 

Holds the secrets of day and the calm of night, 

With every nudge and every soft paw, 

You wrap me in love, a bond without flaw. 

When the world feels heavy, and shadows creep near, 

You’re my little warrior, my heart’s quiet cheer, 

In your playful antics, I find pure delight, 

A beacon of joy, my heart takes flight. 

With every whisker, every gentle nudge, 

You teach me patience, you teach me love, 

A silent promise, a vow so deep, 

In your soft presence, my heart you keep. 

So here’s to you, my feline friend, 

A love that blossoms, that will never end, 

In every moment, together we roam, 

With you, dear Olive, I am always home.
