A kitten showed up on my porch
Worm infested and
Half starved and
Homeless
I felt as if it was bad karma
To leave him out in the cold
Given that I myself was
Homeless some years earlier
Looking into his eyes
I knew there was this bond between us
So I took him under my wing
Cleaned him up, took him to the vet
And christened him with the name
“Mr Giggles” and gave him a
Place to stay
And we hang out to this day
Two former vagrants
Once cast aside
Yet now living it up
Having the time of our lives
Knowing that we are survivors
Has made life so much sweeter
We savor its juices even better
When we share it together
