Lessons our Pets Give

Pets teach lessons. Birth to death on earth. For Molly's Poetry Contest.

Kittens were born.
A mother cat feeds
and comforts her young.
A hamster dies.
All in one room,
life is revealed in all stages.

Lessons are learned
children are taught.
Life on earth,
never lasts forever.

Life is fragile
but not without hope.
Peace is given,
to animals and humans alike,
in the after-life.

Life on earth may end,
but there is the soul
that lives on in our hearts
and in our minds,
through the memories we have
of the pets in our life.
