Mama Kitty
Rescued from the street
The first time I saw her upbeat
Outside afraid to trust
In time I knew she must
Missing teeth from abuse
I didn't want to let her loose
A family she did find
Loving gentle and kind
Something she never knew
Into a princess she grew
Never tried to run away
In the house she wanted to stay
Her few years with me
I was all she could see
She was sick before I was aware
Her little eyes became a blank stare
Each relapse she did fight
This last time she saw her light
Finally an ending in sight
As her little body let her soul take flight
RIP Mama Kitty 10/24/2010
you gave so much and asked for so little
