Only Two Weeks, the Promise

It was only suppose to be for two weeks, that was the promise, and she was suppose to be very quiet and have a small appetite; well that turned out to be a lie- she eats like a bear after hibernation, she is so loud at night, I have to shout out- QUIET! Soon, two weeks became two months, and now we are two years, she does have some flaws but she looks at me with big green eyes; and my heart warms, and when she kisses my cheek with sweet love, I forget she is long overdue and an unwanted- GUEST! But then, I feel sad for the house intruder because she is homeless, unwanted, cast out, with no place to go, and so she stays; I come home to find the house upset, the living room a total mess, cushions on the floor, things scattered and her- ASLEEP! Oh dear, what to do with her, should I find her a new place to live, should I insist my sister who sent her, take her back; the truth is I would miss this house invader so much I would weep, so I whispered in her ear, this is your forever home; and I christened her, Snuggles- Le CHAT! _________________________ February 25, 2017 Poetry/Verse/Only Two Weeks, The Promise Copyright Protected, ID 17- 880-087-0 All Rights Reserved.
