Kitten

by Hanh Chau
(San Jose, CA- USA)

She is sweet, cute and adorable
She wears a golden shining collar around her soft
white fur embrace like a sparkling jeweled necklace
she has big old blue eyes with a sweet
look that melts your heart
that you wouldn’t dare to hurt her
She is lovely and vibrant
She plays like a child
jumping around with
her claws rolling the yarn
and turns her belly around like
she is swimming upside down
and she will come to me and kiss me
when I call out her name, come here kitten girl
and she will blink her eyes and
wave her tail high in the air
and sing to me “meow,”, “meow”, “meow”
She brings joy to me everyday
with her outgoing personality
She likes to jump into my lap and be
cuddled to sleep like a baby when
I come home to her
She will greet me with her gracious smile
filled with joy and dancing around
she is a pleasure to be around and hang out with
she will come in a hurry to comfort me even when
a small sneeze comes out of my mouth
with a question of “meow”, “meow”, “meow”
She always says good night to me in her
familiar language: “meow,” “meow,”, “meow,”
She is not just a toy to me but a
buddy to me
I would not trade her for anything
because she is precious to me
even though she is ONLY a kitten girl
I still love her to death
