THE DISTANT “MEOW”
I heard a distant “meow” today,
Might have been children hard at play….
From beyond the trees
Carried by a breeze,
‘Twas really hard to say.
–
This is a large parking lot
And some stray cats nearby we’ve got…
Perhaps my mind
Needs something kind,
To cheer me as it ought.
–
The “meow” I heard no more,
Just once, and none before…
Was it a child
Running wild,
Or a pussy cat I might adore?
