A Little Godsend

Oh what a wonder we find in our own backyards!
All the beautiful living things we nonchalantly, disregard.
One dark, autumn day I noticed a scene,
That would change my whole perspective no matter the means.
A big wild tom cat was present for a year.
In our yard and all the shrubbery, this cat stayed very near.
I never took much notice until the cat to be,
Guided along a pathway for my dog was blind you see,
Then I remembered a proverb of angels unawares,
They come in every form although we know not where;
Although all gifts from heaven are so precious and sweet,
I didn´t count on such a godsend at such a time of grief.
We shortly lost our dog Comet just about the time,
We began to train Kingly a wild cat in his prime,
And even though nothing could ever take Comet´s place,
The transition was made easier because of God´s grace.
