I look at my cat And love her for All that she is her Helplessness and Dependence on me for Food and company; Her playing moods Her fey green Bitings and her Mad turns, her pink paws And long leggy Stretches. How could God not love Us like this - all we are in Our dependence and our Helplessness - we too Obey the laws of Being, look to him For food and company - How can he Not reach down his Hand and smiling with Indulgence Be loving us?next poem
