Backstory:<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

I wrote this poem from a memory of the summer of 2023.\u00a0 I\u00a0 discovered a stray cat visiting my home and often hiding beneath my wraparound porch.<\/p>\n

It took months to get near him, but now, he is such a lover boy!\u00a0 He is near me all day long and sleeps with me at night. I call him Mr. Little Bunny.\u00a0 He is an attention seeking cat \u2013 very nosey and has to make sure anyone who visits sees him \u2013 quickly. He performs for them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Blessings are Always<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cBlessings\u201d\u00a0 arrive in my mail box, via\u00a0 telephone, or\u00a0 through my computer.<\/p>\n

Some are financial blessings that I did not know were coming to me.<\/p>\n

I receive awards and sales, for my books, writings and artworks.<\/p>\n

Some days I am invited out to lunch, or simply to go for a walk in the park with a friend.<\/p>\n

Blessings come to us all the time if we are open to them.<\/p>\n
