A Visitor
"God sends them without wings so
we will not know they are angels. "
Quote - Unknown
I heard a crashing coming from my flower shed ...
going to investigate
I found a furry orange visitor
CRASH went a flower pot of purple heather
from a table
and I was excepting more to fall
so, I stroked this wandering kitty cat
he was so friendly and I think looking for a friend too
I felt safe to bring him to the kitchen
and soon he was lapping warm milk
and munching on chicken
he fell asleep in my rocking chair
for the entire day ...
then, later hopped on my lap purring
I was thinking I have a cat now
but, then he kissed my cheek
and ran out the door ...
I suppose he was not quite ready to give up freedom
and this is okay
for my door will always be open to a visitor
