LAST PET PRESENT

About that loss I will write,

Cause, what happened was just right.

Two kittens were born, premature.

Their mother was selfish in nature.

I saw them first, crying with pain.

Covered with ants, I couldn't watch it in vain.

I shifted them, a place safer.

For them, then, I was their saver.

They had to be kept warm,

but cow's milk can even do harm.

I could hear their cry only when I fed,

they were in silence, in their bed.

No energy to even cry!

I prayed for them to at least open their eyes,

But I even prayed for a departure,

The world for 'strong' is itself a danger.

I lost the first one, second night,

But for me, it was a sad sight.

I lost the second, next day mid afternoon,

I thanked god for fulfilling my prayers so soon.

Their survival hurt me,

It was also weak, sad, hence suffering were we.

Once departure they can be in peace,

I needn't worry about the danger that chase.

Rest in peace my dear kittens,

You were my first and last pet presents.
