Or Whoever answers <br />The prayers of kittens. <br /> <br />Please help me. <br />It's a big, cold world, <br />And I'm a tiny, cold kitten, <br />Hiding here, under the bush. <br /> <br />I hear you, little one. <br /> <br />What did we do wrong? <br />Why did they throw us out <br />Of the warm house <br />Where Mama is? <br /> <br />They put all six of us <br />Out here, alone. <br />We huddled together <br />All night, in the cold. <br />But my brothers and sisters <br />Have all stopped moving. <br />It's getting very cold here, <br />And the rain is soaking me. <br />I don't know how to find food, <br />And I'm so tired. <br /> <br />Your brothers and sisters <br />Have gone to a good place. <br /> <br />Please help me! <br />Will I go there, too? <br /> <br />Not now, not yet. <br />Cry out, little one. <br /> <br />Help me! Help me! <br />Here! Under this bush! <br />I'm hungry! I'm cold! <br /> <br />Louder, child. <br /> <br />HELP ME! SOMEONE! <br />ANYONE! I'M LOST! <br />DON'T LEAVE ME HERE! <br />I WANT TO LIVE! <br /> <br />Look in front of you. <br /> <br />I see big shoes! <br /> <br />I put them on the path to you. <br /> <br />I see a face! <br /> <br />I turned it toward you. <br /> <br />Ah, warm hands have picked me up! <br /> <br />They know kittens well. <br />They needed a new little one, <br />Like you, <br />To fill a hole in their heart, <br />And an empty place in their home. <br /> <br />They have put me in their coat. <br />I will love them. <br />My purr will warm us both! <br /> <br />Farewell, child. <br />Your prayer, <br />And theirs, <br />Was heard <br /> <br />-Emma<br /><br />Emma Litchfield<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-cat-that-was-lost-then-found/
