Cats Our Teacher Poem by Britney Hogue

Cats are such wonders
Stealing hears of owners
And attentions of others
But how do they do it

Hunting the little mouse
In the grassy field
Or the singing bird
Unaware upon the tree

They are the fiercest hunters
And favored heart stoppers
How could one creature
Be such a multi-tasker

Shouldn’t we be as such?
Impenetrable by the troubles
But as well
The strong unconditional lovers

Not so weak
From the days defeat
And not so hateful
To the needy we meet

Take a lesson from a cat
Who hunts but loves
And be true to yourself
And the others as well
