A Little Ball of Fur
A little ball of fur in the palm of your hand
Crawling all over the place
Dancing in the air like a butterfly trying to catch string
Curiosity; Mischief; Intensity abound
Innocent eyes peer up at you
Milk is all over the place
Now full grown a companion comes along
Kittens start running around like a busy city street
Mom nurtures and protects them until they are ready to go
Now she is getting old and sleeping more
Her body is wearing out
Age takes it's toll
One day, with the kittens by her side, she quietly slips away
The kittens are little balls of fur in the palm of your hand
Mom would be so proud
