Found Kitten

by David Rorer, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

I found a kitten in the street
Black, white paws & muzzle
Little name tag read "Booties date of birth March 26, 2002"
Just a child's toy, a Ty beanie baby
But some one loved it

I thought of all the small broken bodies I have seen
The ones I picked up and took home to bury
The ones I could not but wished I could
Some one loved them also
Or at least I hoped so

Booties was only cloth and beans
But I could not pass it by
So it came home
And now sits on my computer
Lost no longer
