Poem

Twice-a-day, though sun or rain, in storm or wind or snow

                    The crazy lady fed her strays, and watched them come-and-go


She had a name for every one, and knew them by their face

                    Though they sometimes had a spat, they treated her with grace


They numbered over thirty, eating more than she could pay

                    But with bottles and her overtime, she always found a way


She oft-times skipped a meal herself, to make sure that they ate

                    And sometimes lived in darkness, if she paid the light bill late


Many nights she braved the chill if she couldn't pay for heat

                    She rarely bought new clothing, or new boots to warm her feet


And it never ruined Christmas when she didn't have a tree

                    Cuz she bought an extra meal, instead, for her feline family


She made art of cutting corners, though she rarely caught a break

                    And countless were the comforts that she gave up for their sake


But she never felt it sacrifice, or her own needs thus impeded

                    She'd lost in love, but like us all, she still needed to be NEEDED


So, if forfeiting for those we love is a nonsensical thing to do ...

                    Perhaps we should ALL consider ... being a bit more crazy, too.
