Summertime Fun - Not
Vacation time—escape from daily chores;
excitement beckons from the sunny beach!
Refreshing ocean pounding at its shores;
the realm of freedom well within my reach.
Yet, part of me is trapped behind in gloom
in thoughts about my lonely feline pets
now boarded in a strange, confining room;
their lack of freedom stirring deep regrets.
If only they could know that I’ll return
to let them roam again the home they know,
and give them once again the love they yearn—
my heart would be relieved from aching so.
But what goes on within each little mind
while I am free and leave them caged behind?
