Cat's Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse.
'Cuz the cat had pounced on him
and tore him apart-
Ate his mousey intestines
And chewed up his heart.
Kitty thought he heard sleigh bells,
which made him take pause-
He stopped daintily licking
the blood from his claws.
"Must be Santa" thought Kitty
(that quite clever cat)
'Cuz nobody else climbs down
the chimney like that.
Indeed it was ol' Santa,
so jolly and fat
With a load of presents
and all for the cat!
"Wow, the best Christmas ever!"
Kitty thought with a purr,
Then he coughed up a hair ball
and shed some more fur.

You'll find me there

If ever you have sensed me near,
Yet doubted it could be,
Thinking it impossible,
That rainbow might be me.
See, I'm the whisper of the wind,
I didn't ever leave,
In fact my presence emanates,
If you will just believe!
That song that resonates your mind,
Is one I sing for you,
Oh Mommy, please, rely on faith,
there's so much I can do.
At times you loathe the days that rain,
In anguish you lament,
It seems the sun but dimly shines,
The flowers have no scent.
Now Daddy, it's okay to cry,
I've watched you hold it in,
Please know that I adore you so,
We'll all be joined again.
And as you hold my Mommy's hand,
And share this grief you bear,
Just picture me, gaze in her eyes,
I swear you'll find me there!
