Lost and Alone

Kathryn Potempski

Lost and Alone

A little homeless kitten in Vietnam.

Please Keep Me
Hold me close and don’t let go;
I’m so scared to be alone.
I’ve been by myself for far too long,
And always had to be so strong.
Now I only want to rest;
And lay my head upon your chest.
Hold me close and don’t let go;
These wars I fight no one knows.
Now whisper how you love me,
Say it tender and so softly.
I am weary and soon will sleep,
But with you I no longer weep.
So hold me close and don’t let go,
And tell me now this is for keeps.

    What a lovely photo and the selective colouring is good, I hope the poor little love finds a homr or someone to love him. He looks so sad and lost makes you just wish you could cuddle him and make it all better.
