Little paws

(Poem)

Within the busy city

The traffic was far too slow.

I had to get going

Or I would be fired.

It then finally ended

And then I was free.

As free as a bird

Who could just fly away.

But not for long

As I had an office to stay.

I watched as a cat

Was about to get hit.

I shouted for the driver

To stop.

I looked at the cat

As the cat looked at me.

I knew she was the one

That was always calling

I brought her inside.

Then I noticed her belly

All full and round.

I was delighted to see that

For it means there'll be kittens.

I hid her in my room

And she laid in the bed sleeping.

I started to daydream

All what could be.

The world felt so peaceful.

And I felt free.

I said clear and loud

That I belonged to this cat

Just like her unborn kittens.

The day came to an end

And the cat was still sleeping.

I didn't want to wake her

So I just left.

Then the next day

I noticed the cat

Had beautiful kittens

They were so tiny

And only four

I never could have wished

For less or more.
