The lost cat


The day you came into my life,
You was so thin, ill and in strife.
I gave you food, water, shelter in the barn,
But I could not keep you, the dogs would cause you harm.
You started to purr after a while,
To see the change in you made me smile.
I could not take you into my home,
The dogs would not leave you alone.
So, I put your picture on the Internet,
Saying you would make a wonderful pet.
A lovely lady answered my plea,
She took you home, now you are happy and free.
