Crazy
Kramer
my 18 year
old barn cat
who for
years
and years
has been a
talker
each
morning he comes in from the cold
and talks
rather
complains
pacing the
house
he
protests
as only a
cat can protest
and looks
at me
with those
pleading cat eyes
food
he has
water
he has
what does
he want
this
insatiable feline?
I
suspect
attention
and love
but
perhaps his head just itches
but the
harder he tries
the more
irritated I get
(not
knowing what else I can do)
why
doesn't he understand
if he
simply shuts up
and curls
at my feet
or on the
couch next to me
this incessant
whining
why doesn’t
he just relax
and accept
and enjoy my love?
Ah!
So it is
With God
And me
I suspect
God is more patient than I am
He just wants you to pick him up and hold him....that's all. Show you care and that is enough....the power of touch. Simple
ReplyDeleteThat of course is what I do
ReplyDeleteKitties can be quite picky about how they want touch. And creatures without words can sure be hard to figure out sometimes!
ReplyDeleteMy kitty is often quite happy if I pick her up and just carry her around with me in the morning, while i tend to a few minor one handed chores. I've found it's a good compromise. Once she's warmed up from the outdoor cold, she seems content.
I have had Kramer since he was a kitten.. about 18 years :)
ReplyDeleteHe gets lots of love
He's just needier these days... I used him as an example to note not that he doesn't get loved, but that I am much like him, calling to God, and seeking love, incessantly...
and of course, God is always there.... just as I hope I am always there for "my boy'
