KITTEN by Sharon King-Booker
This lovely poem is written by my talented colleague and friend,
Sharon King-Booker. The photos are left to right.... Egypt Farina, Sir Magick, Pharaoh Darling and Angelo. They are all so sweet and innocent. May God Bless the Precious Animals. amen RubyNorma *o*
KITTEN
RUNNING, JUMPING, CLIMBING, LEAPING,
THEN JUST AS SUDDENLY SHE'S SLEEPING,
CURLED UP ON MY FAVORITE CHAIR.
SHALL I WAKE HER? WOULDN'T DARE!
THEN TIME FOR FOOD IN VOICE COMMANDING,
OR A PLACE UPON MY LAP DEMANDING.
WHAT'S THAT SOUND, A MOTOR WHIRRING?
NO, IT'S JUST THE SOUND OF PURRING!
I BUY HER TOYS OFF PET STORE RACKS
TO FIND SHE'D RATHER HAVE THE SACKS,
BECAUSE SHE'S PLEASED WITH LITTLE THINGS--
A BALL OF FOIL, A PIECE OF STRING.
AND WHEN AT NIGHT I GO TO BED,
SHE COMES AND CURLS UP BY MY HEAD.
THEN THOUGHTS OF WORLDLY CARES DO FLY
WHEN SHE BEGINS HER LULLABY.
YES, IT'S PLAIN TO SEE I'M REALLY SMITTEN
BY THE LOVE I SHARE WITH MY LITTLE KITTEN.
