A Poem

This poem is from I Could Pee on This by Francesco Marciuliano.  The small book is full of cat poems and cute pictures.

GIVE

You can't hold someone who
     wants to leave
You can't clutch a memory
     as if it were today
You can't take an insult
     close to heart
You can't grasp for glory
     from your chair
You can't seize life
     thinking only of loss
And you can't grab a laser pointer dot
    on the wall
No matter how much you try.
These hard-earned truths I give to you.

Baby Kealani.  She was sweet and her life was too short.

Stay safe!
