Wally and I Cried( For the Little Kitten Who Suddenly Died)

Wally and I Became friendly this past July Hot sultry air as we ignored the solar flare Taking a stroll nearby a family fun park We heard a cry or maybe a fainted bark Looking around to a definite plaintive sound A small feline kitten without her mother to be found Stroking her fur,we could hear her pleasant purr the two of us picked her up and went back home to get a cup After going to the store and purchasing tender vittle Serving it in her bowl but eating very little The eyes became tired and the breathing was slowing She was out there too long and the signs were all too showing It was obvious to us that she would no longer live How do you try to save a precious life that has so much to give The heartbreaking tears streaming down our weary cheek Holding her paw because she became so tired and weak the expression is silent as the eyes began to close We wanted to but could not..retrieve a very special rose She went to sleep and put the small kitten in my garden it was a brief acquaintance but a special one by Please beg our pardon as Wally and I continue to cry
