Photo of the day: Lend Me a Kitten

I was excited to wake up this morning and see my Mikey featured as 'Photo of the Day' on MyShutterspace.com

I just joined the site recently and have found it to be rather enjoyable, the people there are so friendly, and very talented.


Here is the full version of Lend me a Kitten....

I will lend to you for awhile a kitten, God said.

For you to love while he lives, and mourn when he’s dead.

Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three.

But will you, ’till I call him back, take care of him for me?

He’ll bring his charms to gladden you and should his stay be brief

You’ll always have his memories as solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return.

But there are lessons taught below I want this kitten to learn.

I’ve looked the whole world over in search of teachers true.
And from the folk that crowds life’s land I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain?
Nor hate me when I come to take my kitten home again?

I fancied that I heard them say ‘Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done’
For all the joys this kitten brings the risk of grief we’ll run.
We’ll shelter him with tenderness, we’ll love him while we may.
And for the happiness we’ve known, forever grateful stay.

But should you call him back much sooner than we planned,
We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.
If, by our love we’ve managed your wishes to achieve,
Then in memory of him whom we loved,
please help us while we grieve.
When our cherished kitten departs this world of strife,
Please send yet another needing soul for us to love all his life.

It's quite welcoming.
