Saulie
You loved
warm lemon bars cooling on the counter,
And your
perch of the week.
You lived
for 3 o’clock feeding and a lap at t.v. time.
You had a
hard life before you leveled
your gaze on me at the shelter
And worked
your way into our hearts.
We only had
you for a brief time,
But it seems
it was long enough
for us to grow to love your funny ways,
To heal your
wounded heart,
And to give
you what you wanted the most but could never find...
Your home.
