Anissa

[Guest guest]

When she was a child

Anissa was always

bringing home

lost and abandoned

kittens,

which she lovingly

fed by hand.

In time

she grew up

and went out

into the world,

but with a heart

as big as the sky

there were only

so many

places to go.

She still gives

tender care

to the lost and abandoned

but now

Tigers

lick her fingers

after their supper.

and her Cats
