Life Lessons From Two Persian Cats... Poem by Frank James Ryan Jr...fjr

Life Lessons From Two Persian Cats...



Two Persian Cats on window sill,

Ostensibly staring at nothing.

Back to back for hours long;

What could they possibly see?

Mesmerized, frozen in moment,

Captured by slight of movement

back to back on window sill-

like bookends...on a shelve.


What could they possibly see?

Ahhh! Fatuous me...

How blatantly obvious

what we don't see

that these two Persians see.


We're too thankless to see,

What these cats easily-

Can savor and embrace

in their protected space:

The magnificence of Life!



Oh! If only Cats could speak.

My God, how embarrassed we'd be

When we heard what they really thought-

about you and me!
