FOR CHILDREN – LOST

Kitty   kitty   
Chased by dogs
Hid inside a hollow log

When sun was down
Came kitty out
Kitty    kitty    looked about

Puzzled then
Poor kitty roamed
Found himself a mile from home

Strange names now
Each street he crossed
Kitty    kitty    scared and lost

Where    oh where
Could kitty go
Colder now    began to snow

Kitty    kitty    
filled with fright
Cried he then with all his might

No on came
Or kitty heard
Save a chirping little bird

Startled    upward kitty looked
Into the snowy    frozen night
Behold!    A golden    wondrous sight

A shining star
Its beam threw down
Upon a house in kitty’s town

Kitty    kitty
With frozen feet
Ran he then through wind and sleet

Till he reached
That star struck door
Home at last    to roam no more

Maurice Yvonne December 9, 2015 at 10:22 AM WOW, WOW, WOW! You are living proof that the best things in life are free. Your writings should be in every school, in every library for everyone who ever lifted a pen to write so they may be inspired and for everyone just to read for the sheer delight. A Big Fav! Daver Austin December 9, 2015 at 11:52 AM Good to hear from you, Maurice. Thanks for the blazing praise, but you know, few people read my stuff. I don't enter the contests because of my eye sight. I'd never be able to answer all the e-mail some folks send. Sending love and thanks. Dave
