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.

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
