Story of a Stray
Just a stray
Rejected, unloved
Just a stray
Unwanted
Abandoned, lonely outcast
Seeking a safe place
She wanders
House to house, hoping
Tired, hungry
Cautious, too
Looking for someone who cares
Looking for a friend
Pretty cat
Lovely tortoiseshell
Beautiful
Eyes of green
Come kitty, kitty and eat
Don't you be afraid
Home at last
Grateful, yet skittish
Suspicious
Outside cat
With an inside family
Wandering no more

Written about a stray cat that adopted us a few years back.
Still won't let us get too close, but she knows when dinner time is,
and always shows up. She never wanders far from our house.
