A Box of Kittens

My gratitude for all of creation
is felt most deeply
when I hear a sad story of an abandoned box of kittens.

I am grateful to God for creating these furry friends
I am grateful for the rescuer who found and saved the kittens from death
AND
I am grateful for the person whose heart has been so damaged
he cannot even respect the life of a kitten.

You see,
without someone like him,
a teeny-tiny,
helpless,
abandoned
kitten
never
would
have
been
able
to
save
me.


In loving memory of my Miss Daisy, who rescued me on this day in 1995, and purrs forever in my heart.

  1. This is on my gratitude list. If Miss Daisy had not been there for you, I might not have ever met you, Jessica, my dear friend!
