An Animal Poem

 Lessons Learned from Cats


Stress can not survive 

playtime with a cat.

Each such event is its own 

time of renewal and brighter days.

Sometimes I only observe,

watching Max, the most charming

of the 25 felines who have lived with us,

as he takes a break from hunting,

basks a bit in the morning sun,

reminding me he owns the backyard.

Cats are grateful for an audience,

especially when they play

with their alternative mice,

appreciative of genuine warm-heartedness.

They constantly remind me to become

someone worthy of their friendship,

inspiring me to live a life

of incisive simplicity and common sense,

and when I meet a new cat anywhere,

remembering to say hello.
