A Thousand Words

As cold winds blew that stormy night The dog kept howling at the moon But the two kittens played with delight They never went to sleep so soon Snowflakes pirouetted with delicate grace As we kept warm by the fireplace When I glanced over by the rocking chair I beheld the most beautiful sight, I do declare Two kittens snuggled up next to their mom As they rested from their play With their mother's legs around them In purrfect peace they lay And as they blissfully slept In their little heads sweet dreams crept In love's embrace so warm they were kept There are a thousand words a picture paints Some of beauty and some quite quaint But even angels smile in heaven above When a picture paints a thousand words of love

Joseph absolutely fabulous. I don't need the photo prompt to visualize the love of a mother and her kittens. Best wishes in the contest. Warm Smiles, Connie

Joseph, you have painted a beautiful picture with your words, there is indeed nothing more peaceful than watching a pet sleep, I love to watch my cats sleep, the flicking of a whisker, a whimper, a twitch, what dream do they dream, well done, constance
