The Difference

A kitten with a delicate face
tiny,bright,and playful
formed a bond with my little granddaughter .
She blossomed into adulthood
becoming a fair mother
within a short period of months
but died in an accident.
I wondered and felt pain,
'What a stark difference between our lives !'
Her life was short,
and we have a long journey to go.
But in that brief moment 
of our shared life , our souls
connected beyond time's divide.

Hello Aqkham, You should bve proud of yourself to give this kitten a home. We get attached to our pets when they are sick, of run over by a car, we miss them. Because they have become part of our family. Enjoy your weekend. /Darene/

Wow! Deep and meaningful introspection. Maybe it is less about time, and more about sentiment? Eternal feelings. Like to think that, when I am at the Pearly Gate, there will be a couple of kittens rounding Peter's legs meowing, let him in -- he was good to us.

Hi! I am almost 87 and I have had 20 or 25 caps in my lifetime. I can’t imagine life without a cat. They bring much peace and joy to you and they never hurt you. Only people are really good at that one. I think far more dangerous than a cat. Don’t believe me see what happened in New Orleans this week.!! I am facing this poem. It simply beautiful.. Pangie xx
