Shelter Cat
I sit alone
and so confused
behind the
metal bars.
The loss
that I am feeling
will forever
leave its scars.
My family
left me here one day
a month or
two ago.
They said,
"Don’t worry, Tabby,
you’ll
find a home, we know."
It seems
they’d bought a condo
that said
"No Pets Permitted".
I thought
they’d never leave me
but then
they went and did it.
My favorite
window sill is gone
where I used
to lay and sun.
I cried all
night the day they left
and
remembered years of fun.
The people
stop and look at me
and always
say, "Poor Thing".
Then they
choose a kitten
when they
could have had a King.
As Christmas
nears, it’s gotten worse...
I remember
presents under the tree,
lots of
catnip and a turkey dinner,
loving hands
that once stroked me.
There was
lots and lots of laughter
as I played
with all my toys.
I miss them
both so much this day...
their love,
their kisses and the joys
So, please,
if you stop by my "home",
just give me
an extra rub.
I’ve
given up being adopted,
but I sure
could use the love.
And if you
really like me,
Please,
Please take me with you
I’ll be
real good, I promise,
and love you
long and true.
