Poem: The Cat Who Dared To Dream – 28/11/19


 Georgette was a gracious house cat, 
 with the prettiest smile in her building.

 She was well known for 
 brightening other animals’ and people’s days,
 but inside she was always dreaming. 
  
 She wanted to be as purposeful and powerful as a lion, 
 with the courage and the heart and strength
 to face challenges with the best of all of them. 
  
 But inside she felt too meek, 
 too nice to realise that her dreams 
 could be a reality, not a only potential possibility.
  
 Because, what did it really take to be this lion 
 of which she wished to be seen as?
 Loyalty, courage, qualities of being powerful,
 personal resilience, 
 perhaps these were already within her, 
 not awaiting in store? 
  
 Perhaps she was already a lion inside,
 a strong, roaring beast who ruled her world 
 with benevolence, sweetness and kindness, 
 why, she was like this presently,
 in becoming a lion, maybe she was already there!
  
 Georgette the house cat no longer needed to 
 introvert and dream all day,
 because of her dream
 she’d achieved it,
 She was already presently there.
