Midnight

This poem is dedicated to Midnight who brough love, peace, happiness, and harmony to the lambert home.

Midnight

From whence I came I do not know

My journey was long. but not so slow

I was cold, hungry, and full of fear.

Then you picked me up and gathered me near

I felt your kindness shine through your eyes.

Your gentle touch ended my cries.

At days end you carried me home

I felt welcomed  no longer to roam.

My hunger was great until I was fed.

Still afraid, I hid under a bed,

From under  cover, I saw your smile.

I decided to stay but came out in awhile.

A bond was forged no one could break.

Changes were made  make no mistake.

From Then on, I became moms’ precious boy.

Wrapped in love no one could destroy.

You combed my fur, petted my head.

Allowed me to sleep in your soft warm bed.

I became a sentinel always on guard.

Keeping the  unwanted out in the yard

In our home I rule with steadfast pride

As for that handsome man there by your side

I mind him not for he is to me.

A necessary part of our family

I and no longer afraid or alone

I wish to bring  joy an happiness to our home.

I love my name its so shiny and bright.

It matches my fur as black as Midnight.

Thankyou for your kindness and care

I have no intention of straying from here.

Jackie my mom you will always be.

Terry a dad makes a family of three.

Thatps  purrrrrrrrrfect for me
