I leave the door open

I leave the door open to the glass pane storm door so the cat can see… see the squirrels see the rabbits see the cats see the chipmunks see the birds see the dogs on leashes see the possums at night see the birds of prey hovering above see the leaves as they fall see the weeds as they grow see the wind blow in its majesty I leave the door open to the glass pane storm door so the cat can see… Or is it really just for… me to see the cat enjoying life?

Back to tell you I am locked out of FB. Hopefully can get on tomorrow I posted on my wall what happened. I don't want messenger on my phone. If you have tried to message me, that's why no response.

Really great poem, Robert. It can be very nice to experience the feeling of contributing to someone else's happiness. I like the way you list all of the wonderful things your cat is able to see.
