Ten Cats by Graham Harrop for December 01, 2023

Dedicated to Guard Dog from “Mutts”, now on his way to a better life. ☺♥

To our Rescued Pets

There’s no need to flinch when I lift my hand

No need to cower each time I stand

No need to run when I come near

No need to tremble and be prey of fear

You can sleep with your sweet eyes peacefully shut

There’s no reason to jump every time you wake up

This good food is yours to be eaten in Peace

No more need to fight for it, hope your fear soon will cease

You won’t have anymore to lie on a bare floor

My beds and my sofas are yours to explore

You won’t have to sit out in cold weather and rain

My House is your Shelter, your new pleasant Domain

I cannot erase the memories and fears

I can’t compensate for all those wasted years

All I have are the things that you here now can see

But I give you them all and I give you Me

I give you my Arms to comfort and to hold

I give you this voice for the joys you’ll be told

I give you my Heart, my Love and my Soul

Hope this will be enough, and our Lives will be whole
