Lend Me a Kitten I will lend to you for awhile a kitten, God said. For you to love while he lives, and mourn when hes dead. Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three. But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me? Hell bring his charms to gladden you and, should his stay be brief Youll always have his memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return. But there are lessons taught below I want this kitten to learn. Ive looked the whole world over in search of teachers true. And from the folk that crowds lifes land I have chosen you. Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain? Nor hate me when I come to take my kitten home again? I fancied that I heard them say Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done For all the joys this kitten brings the risk of grief well run. Well shelter him with tenderness, well love him while we may. And for the happiness weve known, forever grateful stay. But should you call him back much sooner than we planned, Well brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand. If, by our love weve managed your wishes to achieve, Then in memory of him whom we loved, please help us while we grieve. When our cherished kitten departs this world of strife, Please send yet another needing soul for us to love all his life. Author Unknown
