Subject: To A Homeless Cat
I know many of my friends out there rescue. For
most of us, its something we are compelled to do, we have no choice. Most
people, outside our circle of animal lovers, do not understand. It can drain
your emotions, time, finances, and spirit. But we keep doing it, because if we
don't.... no one else will. When I found this poem, I felt it was a tribute to
all those precious souls we don't find in time.....
TO A HOMELESS
CAT
Who was there when you died, pretty one?
Who was there when you
left this place?
Who was there to say goodbye, pretty one?
Who was there
to rain tears on your face?
Were you hurt and in pain, pretty
one?
Were you hungry and cold and alone?
Were you sick and afraid,
pretty one?
Were you just too tired to go on?
Somebody loves you,
pretty one,
Though you may not have seen this time.
Someone will hold
you, pretty one,
When your trials on this life are behind.
Head
straight for the Bridge, pretty one.
Run swift, and run straight, and
you'll see.
There is food, there is sun, pretty one.
There is nothing
and no one to fear.
And there is also, for you, my pretty one,
The
love that you never felt here.
They are waiting for you, my pretty
one.
And i'll follow, to hold you, my dear.
Go to sleep, pretty one
and forget.
Forget the horrible life humankind has dealt you.
And awake
to renewal, and contentment, and joy.
Stretch in the sun, pretty
one!
