Kitty's Song

The knee replacement was painful,
I gave up feeling resentful,
until Kitty plopped in my lap,
snuggled closely to take a nap.

Kitty came because I was hurt,
love in her eyes when I was curt,
amazingly my feelings changed,
somehow my life was rearranged.

Extraordinary results occur,
cuddling a kitten that purrs,
wrinkles and frowns evaporate,
great love chases away all hate.

Burdens of life have disappeared,
an obstructed road has been cleared,
softly stroking her snow white fur,
I will always be there for her.

Together we take the first step,
very aware of renewed pep,
illness won’t keep me down for long,
while listening to kitty’s song.
