When you look into my eyes,
I know what you will see.
There is only love and trust
Where fear once used to be.
For I was an abandoned cat,
A scared and lonely stray.
But you reached out your gentle hands
And took me home to stay.
I've eagerly accepted
The compassion you have shown.
I'll soon forget the times
When I was frightened and alone.
You have opened up your heart to me
And shown me how to trust.
You've given me a loving home
Where kindness is a must.
So when you gaze into my face
I hope you'll realize,
That "love without condition"
Is reflected in my eyes
