I had put this together not realizing it could be used for today's entry, so it lacks having the poem or part of it in the actual photo; instead there you will find faint words from one of Bonnie's textures...I could have altered it more, but thought this would suffice for now;)
Molly was fearful when I adopted her
I wonder what was the cause of her trauma
At first she'd hide in the fireplace,
her coat, soot, with highlights of gold and auburn
She resembled Lauren Bacall
And had the tortie attitude to match
We bonded gradually as I brushed her;
declawed paws kneaded me but didn't scratch.
Birds and critters entertained her from outside
Birds and critters entertained her from outside
And while she slept she softly snored
She liked to nestle on my hip as I lay on my side
until she was not sleepy or became bored
until she was not sleepy or became bored
She had collected some balls and feathered toys
under my bed for wee hour melee
under my bed for wee hour melee
I can still hear the faint bell she wore
I couldn't save her and she did not run away
I couldn't save her and she did not run away
We were each other's gifts for awhile
she didn't go outside except to sun bathe
I'll never know just what happened;
would she return from her adventure unscathed?
I called for her and searched online, everywhere
My fault the door that day was ajar
After days away in the cold,
had fright of crashing branches sent her far?
Weeks later she was found
just four doors down, unable to walk
She had suffered a stroke the veterinarian said
and was deliriously in shock
Her instinct to land on both feet was gone
I wanted to take her home to heal
What a blessing to see each other again
Her grateful green eyes didn't see me,
but she knew I was there,
and purred tranquilly as I held her head
in prayer
