The Divine Cat
By: Ross H.L. Bowen
I wonder if Jesus, while here on this earth
Had a little pet cat, or a kitten from birth
A calico, tabby or an all-over grey
Would've lightened His burdens every day.
I know if He did, that little cat knew,
"This Man is Jesus -- the King of the Jews
He won't leave me lonely, or even unfed
As long as He lives" -- that's what the cat said.
Oh, what an honor for a feline friend
To be here with Jesus, from beginning to end!
How glad she would be to follow the Man
From hither to yonder, all over this land.
I'm afraid that He didn't, for why would our Lord
Not have mentioned His little pet cat in His Word
To show that a man could have such a friend
Whether he stayed at home, or wherever he went?
And why would He pray in the Garden, alone --
Since from the Disciples our Savior had gone --
When he could hear the purr of His little cat,
To ease tension, and soothe Him, wherever He sat.
No, I'm sure that He didn't, or e'er would've been
At the side of my Savior, no matter the scene!
When He rode into town, and was welcomed with palms,
Or He stood at the ocean, and ordered it calmed.
Then on that sad day Jesus went to the cross
She'd've followed behind, ne'er forsaking her Boss
And on those days which were so filled with gloom
This little cat would've guarded His tomb!
But when He arose, as had been prophesized,
Then -- only then -- would the kitty have died.
The reason? Just one -- it would have to be Love,
And she would've followed our Savior above!
If you have a cat, than I'm sure you can say
How much your pet means to you from day to day
And I guess you can tell what it would've been worth
When Jesus was here, below, on this earth!
