Hour 10 (Marathon Prompt \u2013 listen to the song Moon Shadow by Cat Stevens and start writing as soon as the song is over.\u00a0 Some of you know, maybe not all of you, that we have a dog that we named Cat Stevens.\u00a0 Second ironic twist of the day!!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our Cat Stevens<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You came to us humbled and blessed<\/p>\n

Rescued by Shauna and readied for your new home.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid it take long to find me, I asked the faithful light.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Out of the Christmas box you popped<\/p>\n

Greeting your new family<\/p>\n

Unique spots, cuddly fur, and puppy breath!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Like a moon shadow, your towered over Charlie<\/p>\n

But he would not relinquish his dominance.<\/p>\n

You would always be second while he was around.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I won\u2019t moan, and I won\u2019t beg.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For those who are grateful, the journey is a kinder reward.\u00a0 Let us learn from them.<\/p>\n
