Kitties
By Jack Joseph Smith
Kitties will take your heart
Kitties will also make
you watch the wildness
in this world
in a more careful way
They will grow old
with a child through their teens
While there at their threshold
They will look the same
as the day you brought them home,
and immediately knew you loved them
As the day when they will show
so much courage
Saying now I have to go
Yes, all through life
with your kittie
He or she will not display fear
And for certain you will know
All along the way,
kitties view,
as traveling time
Through very good
and private times
As well as those
of servere strife
Your kittie, or kitties,
will have changed your life
For Heather
Love Grandpa
