Phoebe,

I can’t wait

to take you home with me.

I’m waiting to snuggle,

play, hug, and kiss you

endlessly.

Sweetheart,

Welcoming you in my home

will melt my COVID trauma away,

lighten up more rooms in my home,

and kick my loneliness in the buttocks!

Phoebe,

You’ll make my life

so much easier,

fulfilling, purposeful, and serene;

you’ll take up enough space

in my mind and heart!

Sweetheart,

I’m excited to nurse you,

care for you,

adore you,

and protect you.

Phoebe,

You’ll be like my daughter

who never talks back,

screams,

hurts,

and just loves me unconditionally.

Sweetheart,

I won’t have to put up

with anymore social drama,

because I’ll be too busy

obsessing over you!

    Dear Talia - If you have a moment please view my silly story 'Rescue' that I've written on behalf of - Pet Haven Minnesota - The lovely Director is very much a 'Cat' person and they name most of them 'Phoebe.' It's a wonderful feeling when with our simple words we can reach so many people for their so dedicated causes. - Vocal Authors Community - Jay Kantor, Chatsworth, California 'Senior' Vocal Author
