He snuggles close to me each night,
His mother he presumes.
Gets all settled, comfy,
His nap he will resume.

His fingers always searching,
In my pockets an everywhere.
A tear in the cushion, or a tiny hole,
He really doesn’t care.

Curious he surely is,
A mess at times I know.
But still he is my friend,
Part with him!!! I don’t think so!!!

A million things the years we’ve had,
Continuing I hope.
Intelligent and very smart,
Except for eating the soap.

He loves the water, but hates a bath,
A battle we always have.
Scrambling for the rim,
but I grabbed him at last.

I didn’t search at all for him,
Someone robbed the nest.
I took him and cared for him,
These years tell the rest.

I didn’t call them stupid,
But selfish I would say.
Of all the four they gathered,
Mines the last to stay.

All alone and miles away,
Harming not a soul.
In the tules away from here,
So young not even bold.

Ecology and natures ways,
Upsetting I suppose.
But I knew he was helpless,
He deserved more we know.

I made a promise to myself,
To care and do my best.
I did it and I’m proud,
I also passed a test.

Other stories I can tell,
Later on I may do it yet.
But now I’ll let you think on this,
Let nature make its bed.
