Wally and I Cried( For the Little Kitten Who Suddenly Died)
Wally and I
Became friendly this past July
Hot sultry air as we ignored the solar flare
Taking a stroll nearby a family fun park
We heard a cry or maybe a fainted bark
Looking around to a definite plaintive sound
A small feline kitten without her mother to be found
Stroking her fur,we could hear her pleasant purr
the two of us picked her up and went back home to get a cup
After going to the store and purchasing tender vittle
Serving it in her bowl but eating very little
The eyes became tired and the breathing was slowing
She was out there too long and the signs were all too showing
It was obvious to us that she would no longer live
How do you try to save a precious life that has so much to give
The heartbreaking tears streaming down our weary cheek
Holding her paw because she became so tired and weak
the expression is silent as the eyes began to close
We wanted to but could not..retrieve a very special rose
She went to sleep and put the small kitten in my garden
it was a brief acquaintance but a special one by
Please beg our pardon as Wally and I continue to cry
