Gods Grace - A Cat Poem

by Amy
(aberdeen, ohio brown)

MY BODY IS SHAKING
MY FUR IS ALL WET
WHAT IS THIS PLACE
IM SCARED TO DEATH
MY BELLY IS EMPTY
I FEEL THE SUNS STINGING RAY
THIS IS WHAT IT MUST BE LIKE
TO LIVE LIKE A STRAY
BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY
AND TELL US GOODBYE
PLEASE REMEMBER
WE TOO CAN CRY
WE TOO CHERISH LIFE
ALL THAT WE CAN
BUT ITS BECOMING TOO HARD
TO LIVE BESIDE MAN
NO MORE DO YOU LOVE ME
BUT ILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
AND ILL ALWAYS BE FAITHFUL
AND FORGIVE WHAT YOU DO
SO LET ME LEAP INTO YOUR ARMS
JUST ONE MORE TIME
LET ME PURR IN YOUR EAR
AND FEEL A TOUCH THAT IS KIND
FOR TOMORROW YOU LEAVE ME
OUTSIDE TO DIE
YOU DIDNT EVEN PET ME
OR TELL ME GOODBYE
WE ARE LIKE YOU
WE TOO CAN CRY
