Family of seven

---

               To watch them being born,

               To opening their eyes,

               The newborn kittens

               were certainly a surprise,

 

     To see them walk for the very first time,

               Stumbling across the room,

                  To reach for a treat

               Thats captured their eyes,

 

                    To watch them play

                    and jump up high,

                    To climb up your legs,

                   You see their playful eyes.

 

                   Scratches on your skin,

                    From all the playful fights,

                       With the fishing rod

                       and the furry mice.

                    How we laugh and chuckle

                      when they tumble over.

 

                 Watching their features change,

                       Watching them grow,

                     Seeing them develop

                    Characters of their own.

 

     Tom - A cat who's stride looks mean,

     Gerry - A scardy cat but keeps us keen,

     Sue - Who's timid but loves her babies,

     Sooty - A sleepy fellow who dozes all day,

     Dixie - Who's a playful and cheeky little minx,

     Trixie - A terror in her own little mind,

                       Last but not least

                            Little Molly,

                  A kitten that was blessed,

               When we thought her life was lost.

                   For this we thank the lord

                          For we are blessed.

 

                         So there you have it,

                         Our family of seven,

                         Sounds like madness,

                         But it's truly heaven.
