21st March 2018

Praised be the gods in the heavens above,
For my beloved,
Doomed to die from birth complications
As feared and believed for many a day now,
Is at last freed of her prematurely-born babies and lives
Without the interfering hand of human intervention,
I might add.

Praised be the gods in the heavens above,
For another beloved of mine,
Doomed to die from a prolonged illness-induced loss of appetite
As feared and believed for many a day not too long ago,
Not only recovered but thrives today
Without the interfering hand of human intervention,
I might add.

Perhaps the gods too had cats of their own,
Seeing the way they heard my prayers concerning mine.
