Bright eyes

What can I see amongst the leaves,
A pretty kitten, watching me.
What lovely eyes, and an adorable face,
If she belonged to me, I would call her Grace.
I looked around, no sign of a mother,
Not even a sister or a brother.
She plays amongst the pretty flowers,
Running round and round for hours.
I leave some food outside my door,
She keeps on coming back for more.
Off she goes, when darkness falls,
I don’t know where she goes,
Maybe she has a home, who knows.
