It looked at me
It's eyes wide open.
So innocent
Like a newborn baby.
I took it
In my arms,
Held tightly
Close to my heart.
A silent purr
Came to my ears,
It was as pleasant
As the morning sun.
Such a beautiful creature,
Which was not mine,
I would give a truck of gold
To make it stay with me.
But when the time has come,
And the sun went down,
I had to leave it there,
In the safety of its couch.
