Jacqui Broad - Cat in the Tree

Yesterday, my cat was stuck
in the tree.
The poor thing clinging on for dear life
it seemed to me.
Eyes big and wild and staring
meouwing on the top of his voice...
But, thankfully he has an owner who's caring
and guided him down with a soothing noise.
Safely back on the ground
I gave him warm milk and his bowl of food.
With it a lesson came around.
If we take chances it might end good.
We scream and cry when the seas get rough,
but there's always someone ready to lend a hand.
Reaching out, guiding us when times get tough.
Ask the cat in the tree, he'll understand...
