He winks at me as if he knows
Just what I mean, but otherwise shows
No outward sign of what was said;
He just lies sleepily on my bed.

I talk as if he could reply,
He stares up with those golden eyes
As if to say, why must you speak?
Why can't you just let me sleep?

His tail he curls around himself
As I move on, to something else
He winks again, as if to say
"Momma, I'm listening, anyway.

And maybe I can't speak in words
But I still know, yes, I still heard."
I'm left to wonder where I'm at
To take advice given by a cat.

But sometimes those eyes give me a scare
When he listens like he really cares.
Maybe he knows more than I think,
And that's when he gives me a wink.

    She stands up to give her speech
    Hundreds of eyes, her audience
    All she wants to do is to hide away
    But this needs to be said,

    He winked

    With a twinkle

    And a devilish smile

    She winked back

    With stars in her eyes

    They knew it was fate

    For one wink was

    It all started with a wink
    That made me stop and think
    You could be the one for me

    When we went out to dinner
    I knew you were
