Hensley The Cat

Hensley was a yellow cat as big as he could be And every night I'd stroke his fur as he slept next to me
He'd spend his days in our backyard and late at night he'd roam but one March night he walked away and never came back home
I made some signs with colored pens and put them all around "LOST CAT" I wrote in pink and blue, "PLEASE RETURN IF FOUND"
A week went by without a word I cried at night in bed But then a boy called on the phone, "I found your cat," he said
"I found him lying in the street," the boy said quietly, "It must have been a passing car. I'm sorry as can be."
I hung his picture on my wall next to his favorite toy I wrote, "I'll miss you everyday with all my heart. Love, Joy"
Although my Hensley's gone away There's still a cause to sing My mommy said an angel found a yellow cat with wings
