* 2 Baby Kittens

God lead 2 more small kittens to the keeper.
She was putting her trash at the curb, when
she heard such meowing, so she went over 
and lifted the lid, there they were 2 baby kittens.

She took them out, tears streaming down her face.
Oh !you precious darlings how could someone do,
this to you? they were scared to death, shaking so
hard she thought they might jump from her arms.

So she took them in her house and fed them.
They gobbled down the food so fast because they
thought there would be no more, they did the same,
with the bowls of water she put there for them.

When they were fed she took them and washed 
them in her kitchen sink , they were shaking,
crying with fear she took them one by one and
wrapped them in a warm cozy towel they purred.

Curled up together in their bed she had made for
them, they cried out a few timed so she laid down
beside them with her hands in their bed letting them
know it was all right just as God does when we're afraid.
