Because You Let Her Roam...
Because you let her roam, she wandered away,
Through streets unknown, in the light of day,
Her eyes wide open, her heart full of glee,
But the world out there was no place to be free.
Because you let her roam, she crossed that road,
A fleeting shadow where the cars flowed,
With no one to hold her, to keep her near,
She faced the dangers that she couldn't hear.
Because you let her roam, she chased the night,
A silent hunter in the pale moonlight,
But in her quest for the world untamed,
She found a fate that couldn't be named.
Because you let her roam, she's not coming home,
Her soft, warm purrs now left alone,
A life once cherished, now lost to the wild,
Because you let her roam, you lost your child.
Because you let her roam, she sleeps today,
Beneath the earth where she used to play,
Her spirit free, but her body still,
A quiet reminder of a roaming's ill.
Keep them close, within your care,
Love them deeply, keep them there.
For outside those doors, where dangers loom,
A roaming cat may meet its doom.
So cherish the life you hold so dear,
Protect them always, keep them near.
For in your arms, they’ll safely stay,
And never be lost to the world’s harsh way.
