There lived a girl who loved animals
She had three cats who’d been abandoned
She loved them so and wanted them to know
That they would always have a home with her
One morning she went out for the morning paper
One cat was missing and she searched for it’s ebony
Form as it was the one who she loved the most
But when she discovered her she was listless
Midnight was the kitten who she deeply cherished
And somehow her cat once found been cut to pieces
She had her Mom rush the animal to the vet
Where it was met with a good and kind doctor
Finally, after many days at the vet’s office
And with only evening phone calls to encourage her
The girl went home with her cat who now had
Not four, but three legs… and no tail – oh well!
That cat could climb a tree, on legs – only three
As well as the next kitty who had all four legs
And soon it was shown to be, the kitty who knew
It’s place was with this girl, who loved her totally!
Midnight lived until the girl turned seventeen
And gave many hours of affectionate purring
With a heart that knew without any doubting
That love lived in the heart of this hopeful child
