” I am a cat… “

 

I am a cat,
brought from far, far away.
Since I was thrown into this city, I have survived here alone.
　
Getting through the many cold/miserable nights in the dark corners of the streets,
I have yearned for the warmth of the lights coming through windows of the sweet family house.
　
Somebody want to invite me in?
　
I know the tricks of the sweets in your pocket.
You must not forget that even a tiny kitten has pride and hidden sharp claws.
　
Please seek me out.
　

You could see me taking a nap on a high branch in a maple tree on a fine day, or in the window of an old book store on a rainy day.

Whatever you could take from love in this world, I can give you a sweet heaven, If you can give me the lap to curl up on …
　
-So I can purr like a little kitten forever.
