Write a poem in the voice of your kitty

[Katie M]

This is what I wrote as an interpretation about my Lily's story. And also as an ode to those who rescue and those who take a chance on the ones who so often get left behind. I hope you like it.

I Fall Asleep

A lady came and took me away, from the only place I've known.
Where food is scarce and most are unwell, a place you feel alone.
I fall asleep...

I'm tired, I'm sick, I'm to weak to even stand,
but Lady wrapped me, nice and warm, and held my head in her hand.
I fall asleep...

It's bright, I'm scared, but too tired to fight.
Then Lady gave me to another, who said I'll be alright.
I fall asleep...

I'm warm and fed, but really scared, nothing is the same,
then Lady comes in and sits beside me, I'm really glad she came.
I fall asleep...

My belly hurts, my babies are coming...one, two, three...
Lady says “you're babies are precious”, I have to agree.
I fall asleep...

One by one my babies leave me, but I'm still left behind.
People don't even see me, I'm scared, small and hard to find.
I fall asleep...

Lady says I'm sweet and pretty, and someone will come along,
but I'm sad, withdrawn, sick again, and still not very strong.
I fall asleep...

Two people come in and they're calm and happy, they take time to meet us all.
But I stay hidden and tucked away, backed up against the wall.
I fall asleep...

Lady finds me and brings me out, those same two people smile.
Our eyes meet and I feel peaceful, I've not felt that in a while,
She wraps me in a blanket and holds me nice and tight,
He reaches for me and pats my head...”I think she's just right”
She asks me about something that I have never heard.
“Home”...What's that? I'm so confused about a such a simple word.
But something tells me, I should go, and that I'll be just fine
these two people with the loving eyes, this must be a good sign.
I fall asleep...

I'm warm and cozy, my people take good care.
no longer am I sick and lonely, my family, the answer to my prayer.

I'm home....I fall asleep...

This is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. I find myself thinking of your picture of Lily on the bed
