The Wish

by HarryT

Susie said she wished to be an animal
Just wanting roll about on the floor
Take a nap, go outdoors and explore

I said, “You sound like Cuddles, our cat
I think in last life a feline you might
Secretive, affectionate, full of fight
Purring so agreeably when I pet you”

She cocked her head, raise her hands
And pawed the air in front of me
In bed I stroked her short black hair
She pawed me and purred, “Meow,”
So sincere and licked inside my ear

To my morning horror when I slipped the covers
I discovered a beguiling black cat next to me
Licking my face, she purred, “It’s me,” sweetly
