The Spirit of the Homeless Cat
Introduction from Carol...
Lisa - Something made me write this today.. The essence of it has been floating in my brain for some time. I posted it on the board, in case someone needed to read it... Then, of course, I thought of you, if you would like to add it perhaps someone needs it.
The Spirit of the homeless cat peaked in a window pane.
The cat inside napped by a fire, while she felt only rain.
It made her cold and still she looked onto the scene inside
She wondered just how it would feel, to not always have to hide.
The Spirit of the homeless cat, moved on to the next home
She watched as this cat ate his food, he didn’t have to roam.
Her one great dream, to just feel love, started up again inside
How would it feel to know such love, she thought and then she sighed.
The Spirit of the homeless cat, moved further down the street
The rain had stopped and by one house she heard a sound so bleak.
She peaked in through the sliding door, a woman sat there all alone
She was packing up a kitty’s things, and softly she did moan.
She saw a kitty angel, sitting by the woman’s chair,
The woman talked as if she knew, the kitty angel was right there.
The Spirit of the homeless cat, the kitty angel had just seen
And through the night it told it’s mom, while talking in a dream
The scared and frightened homeless cat, awoke to yet another day
She heard the humans coming, she so didn’t want to stay
Inside this cage, where she was fed, but no one had the time
To love on her and hold her close, or sing a little rhyme.
But the woman from her dream last night was really standing there
The woman stopped and looked at her, the kitty said a prayer.
And suddenly, and not a dream, she was in the woman’s lap
The woman talked to her about a chair where she could nap.
That night the cat and woman, drifted off to sleep, thinking of the night before.
When the woman had cried and kitty had sighed, right by the sliding door.
Together they did fall asleep, each feeling their new love
And there beside the rainbow bridge the kitty angel smiled above.
