Hour 10 (Marathon Prompt – listen to the song Moon Shadow by Cat Stevens and start writing as soon as the song is over.  Some of you know, maybe not all of you, that we have a dog that we named Cat Stevens.  Second ironic twist of the day!!)

 

Our Cat Stevens

 

You came to us humbled and blessed

Rescued by Shauna and readied for your new home.

“Did it take long to find me, I asked the faithful light.”

 

Out of the Christmas box you popped

Greeting your new family

Unique spots, cuddly fur, and puppy breath!

 

Like a moon shadow, your towered over Charlie

But he would not relinquish his dominance.

You would always be second while he was around.

“But I won’t moan, and I won’t beg.”

 

For those who are grateful, the journey is a kinder reward.  Let us learn from them.
