The hollow tree and the lovely cat

Every time I come to the tree it opens its arms for me.
Rain and night, it takes away my fright,
I feel safe when I’m with the tree because it loves me.
Every day the furry-like stray
Comes to me and I let it stay.
I welcome it with my open arms
It yawns, it sleeps, it walks on its feet.
My rough bark becomes soft when he’s around,
I feel loved when he sleeps without a sound.
The hollow tree is not hollow for me,
It gives me food for the night,
It gives me a hug when I’m in a fright,
They say to go away, that is not where you're supposed to stay.
The furry-like cat is never a brat,
He protects me when I feel sore.
The food I give him he never asks for more,
He is nicer than most of them all.
The tree is like a nest that helps me rest,
Sadly it's the last time I will sleep there,
Remember me my lovely tree.
