Tribute to Santa Paws

        Up on my bed Kitty               jumps at night       With all four little paws     Truly, he’s my Santa Claus. He’s my sweet little cuddly boy.   If he truly knew how much he     Filled my heart with JOY.         He’s so much better               than any toy.         Money couldn’t buy           His contented purr.           He feels my LOVE             Of that I’m sure.             I pet him a little;             that’s all he asks           Along with a little             water and food         It’s such a small task               For in return         In his LOVE I bask.       Every day is a holiday     With my little Santa paws               For his health             I’ll always pray.           GOD is so good to           Send him my way.             On the porch he         Showed up one day.       You’d think that would                 be enough         But no, my Lord was               double good.     Along with one came his               brother too!         I named him Simran         (sweet remembrance)       And his brother Bhajan           (sweet connection)     To remind me every time           I call their names   Of the WONDERFUL ONE         Who made them and           sent them my way.       For them, I’ll be grateful         each and every day!     Laura Joy Hunter writes spiri- tual and pet poetry and is a pet photographer.
