I sat alone on a tragic night
Feeling completely torn apart
By all of the terror and fright
That had welled up deep in my heart
Then across the way I saw a cat
Bright orange with accents of white
He came to me on the stone I sat
Limping along with all his might
I took notice of what he might have gone through
Rejection, abuse, hurt, and loneliness
But still a smile came to
Even over my pain and kindly mess
He stood strong, even by himself
His white paws were a light to his path
And his past problems set aside on a shelf
To grow character and no longer wrath
His chest crescend with light
Pooring out of his deep soul
Shining brighter than the flames of night
This strength didn't come from words he was told
But rather while in his miseries
He had to depend on a greater force
That was deep within his memories
That would ultimately determine his course
And as he walked away
The tip of his tail shone like a light
Giving me hope that one day
Once I get over this mountain's height
I will be a light unto the world as well
Because fortunately my current pain
Will not condemn me to Hell
But rather grow me and remind me the mansion my God has lain
I feel it so strong
I too
Am going through the toughest part
Of my life.
My heart is with you.
