True Love

I'm sitting here with

love on my lap ...

in the shape and form,

of a small furry cat.



Unconditional, and true

given so free ...

yet it's people who --

find it so hard to be.



Petty, and selfish

it seems their way ...

cruelty, and indifference,

really rule their day.



If only a lesson

could be learned ...

then our hearts,

might not be burned.



How to teach the lion,

when he's in his den?

I fear I know not --

it's the way of men.



I watch as True Love

gets up from my lap ...

amazed it all comes,

from a small furry cat!
