Lekatt Thoughtful Living

Since you love kitties so tenderly….I thought I might share this poem with you in remembrance of a little friend of my own…Blessings and hugs, gisl

Once there was a kitty who needed a home
And no one wanted her so she had to roam
She was in need cuz she waddled a big belly
Unto my door she meowed, ragged and smelly

I gave her food and invited her in
She purred thank you and settled quickly within
Eating and drinking like it was her last meal
Yet pausing in between giving nudges to my heel

Quickly the days passed and it was her time
She paced and whined into her box she did climb
I readied the towels, blankets and knelt by her side
Thru painful efforts she bore four kittens with courage and pride

That was my sweet Susie who was thereafter a very loyal friend
Whether on my lap or for companion i could always depend
So just because i fed her and gave some kindness and care
Susie showered me with love and affection beyond compare

Such a simple sharing and not much of a drain
One soul affecting another both receiving gain
That is my story with a most beloved creature
A sweet life experience from a most loving teacher

For Susie, a most beloved friend, gone back to God, but her paws and love forever imprinted in my heart…gisl

Imagine how our world would be if we could give one another the same sort of loving exchange that an animal, who does not speak with our same words, readily is able to do, just by its presence exemplifying unconditional love in the simple act of loyal grateful friendship….
