CAT
WE HAVE A
CAT
WHO CAME TO US
AS A STRAY
KITTEN
AT CHRISTMAS
TIME
PROBABLY
A YULE TIME
PRESENT ESCAPEE
OUT THE DOOR
AND LOST
WE TRIED TO
FIND THE OWNER
NO
RESULT
WE CALLED THE
SHELTER
THEY SAID THEY
HAD SO MANY CATS
THEY WERE
EUTHANIZING THE SURPLUS
BY THAT TIME
SHE HAD WORMED
HER WAY
INTO OUR
HEART
AND
STAYED
I
MARVELED
THAT SO YOUNG
A CAT
WITH NO
MOTHER
WOULD DO CAT
THINGS
LIKE DOING
OBEISANCE
TO THE OLDER
CAT
WAITING UNTIL
IT WAS FED
BEFORE
EATING
TEASING THE
DOG
BY BATTING HIM
THEN RUNNING
AWAY
CHASING
FLIES
CATNIP
MICE
TELLING
OUTDOOR CATS
THIS WAS HER
DOMAIN
I KNOW IT WAS
INSTINCT
BUT STILL IT
WAS MARVELOUS
TO
SEE
THE CHURCH IN
ROMANS
SAYS
(WHAT
THE LAW REQUIRES
IS
WRITTEN ON THEIR HEARTS,
WHILE
THEIR CONSCIENCE
ALSO
BEARS WITNESS
AND
THEIR CONFLICTING THOUGHTS
ACCUSE
OR PERHAPS EXCUSE THEM)
WHAT THE CAT
DOES INSTINCTIVELY
MAN MUST DO BY
DECISION
TO DO IT LIKE
THE CAT
WOULD TO BE
LIKE A ROBOT
TO BURY
YOURSELF IN JESUS
IS NOT TO BE
AN AUTOMATON
BUT TO ACT AND
DO
WHAT WE KNOW
IS RIGHT
TO DO
OTHERWISE
IS TO DENY HIS
INDWELLING
WHAT IS
WRITTEN ON OUR HEARTS
I TRIED VERY
HARD
TO NOT GET TOO
FOND OF HER
BUT
THERE IS SOMEONE
KNOCKING
AT THE
DOOR
I DON'T WANT
TO GET UP
SHE’S ASLEEP
IN MY LAP
