MY MONDAY VISITOR:

MY MONDAY VISITOR:

Yesterday morning I proceeded downstairs,
To put my trash in the bin.
There on the doorstep sat a stray cat.
Waiting it appears to come in.

I deposited my trash,
Then returned to the cat.
Stroked it as it seemed all alone.
Thinking to myself that was that.

It purred so loudly on this frosty morn,
I then had an idea.
I went to my apartment and got some milk.
It lapped it up but remained there still.

I then got some cold  left over meat,
Which it eat so hungrily.
I picked it up to stroke it again.
It put it's paws around me.

This I tell you brought a tear to my eye,
The first sign of affection shown in some time.
Was I so alone in this big world of ours?
As I thought I was doing just fine.

I put the cat down after a while,
Then it went tenaciously on it's way.
I watched as it turned round the corner,
Thinking "Did We Make One Another's Day?"

    Greetings Yvonne. A well written poetic-piece that I enjoyed reading. Dogs and cats can be a comfort. You are very kind to give the stray some food and milk, to go happily on its way. Blessings to you.

    Thank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.

    What a beautiful story, Yvonne. You know, God works in mysterious ways. And I believe He brought comfort to you and to the cat. Have a lovely day.

    I bet you have a new friend now. You'll have to update us on the story of your cat. Maybe you'll be keeping each other company.
