Keep Focusing On the Good Things, Mommy

Keep focusing on the good things, Mommy,
focus on me-- 


months ago I sang the same song 
to lull you to sleep 
while you had bad dreams,
the human world big and terrible
and cold and mean 


Focus on the good things, Mommy,
focus on me--
my little pink toes in the sunshine, 
radiant whiskered reverie 


Focus on the good things, Mommy, 
focus on me--
my morning mews and tiny face
ready to smile and sing 


Focus on the good things, Mommy,
focus on me--
running close behind you
diving into sunbeams 

It's hard outside 
but we can be happy here
you and me


Focus on the good things, Mommy,
focus on me--


Keep focusing on the good things, Mommy--
Keep focusing on me

I'll sing for you
until it's safe  

to dream 

Angel In My Bed (A Cat Poem)


photo by Clarabelle Fields

 

on darker nights

seeped in cold

I sleep well knowing

I am not alone

I hear the door,

the quiet creak,

the lighting weight

of little feet

padded paws,

a little nose

cold and soft,

tiny toes

kneading me

and nuzzling fleece

purring calm,

purring peace-

filled remedies to every ill

quiet breaths

long and still

a warmth that falls

through open arms

to settle down

on blankets and yarn

a tiny tum, a little head

smiling, snuggling

in my bed

and we drift along

in cozy night

snuggled close,

holding tight

paws on chest

chin on cheek

my angel is perfect

soft and sweet

my little boy,

my little one

someone to hug

someone to love

through the nights

cold and deep

hugging close

in quiet sleep

there’s an angel

in my bed

comfort for

the road ahead
