One day you wandered into my view. <br />Your fur was tufted and ridiculously askew. <br />You were a confused vagabond without a home. <br />It was my intention that you would continue to roam. <br /> <br />You looked at me like we had known each other before. <br />As though to say, 'Recognize me, feed me…open the door.' <br />Your delving green eyes pried open my heart with a plea. <br />Your clawless paws managed to magnetically attach to me. <br /> <br />Your persuasive ways and purring motor have earned you a ticket. <br />This is your home and you’re an important part of our family unit. <br />You now fill a previously nonexistent void with constant affection. <br />Stray cat of mine, you no longer have to worry about rejection.<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stray-cat-2/
