You were sleeping like the licked orange kitten
In the drawer of sewing notions by the window
When I found you there was lace on your forehead
The whole world lay out before you
I thought, What little harm to let you go
And run into the future
All your life ahead of you, all of anything for you
I hope you escape your captors free and fast
I'll knit you a little satchel I can carry you around in
You can help me as I go about my daily chores
Daily life means everything to me now
I'm so glad to have you with me
I love you like air and water and light
With Theodore sleeping beside me
He smiles too and the rain falls outside
We may have found happiness
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
