If he could smile, he would;
If he could speak, he would scream.
Maybe, if his eyes were blue
A heart would have felt them.
If he had a pair of thumbs,
He would have saved himself.
If he had a helping hand,
It could have lifted him.
Maybe, if someone had knew,
It wouldn’t have been this way.
If the collar hadn’t been so tight,
He could have squeezed out.
If someone had spent a little money,
He wouldn’t have starved.
Maybe someone would’ve bothered to care,
If he just had a shade whiter hair.
What would have happened,
Can never be known.
Because, now, this innocent kitten--
He’ll never be grown.
Maybe, if the gate hadn’t been locked,
He could have made it through.
If his mother hadn’t abandoned him,
He could be sitting with you.
If the sun hadn’t be a little too hot,
If the rain hadn’t fallen too hard,
If the wind wasn’t cold and harsh.
If we would have found him in time,
He would still be alive. |
