(To Darling)
Like a cotton ball, small and soft, looking at me with those black little eyes sitting on the palm of my hand...
White fur and black nose tiny teeth and pink tongue...
Precious creature stretching and yawning inside my coat pocket as I drive home...
From the distant island of Malta you came to chase seagulls on the California coast...
Ten years have past, still bright eyes lying on my bed, my sweet Darling wonderful pet...
