Dragon

Dragon

Dragon is my future cat.  I haven’t got her yet.

She is an idea, a hope and a dream,

But that which is written has now been said,

And I am not one to break my word.

My words are my bond, bound truth, without which I am nothing.

One day, I promise, I will find her.

One day I will no longer be missing.

A dragon with a tortoise shell,

Like her predecessor and her son.

Those which were, have never been forgotten,

But I have lost the son and the mom,

To a former love; once upon a time she was mine.

It is time to walk a different line.

Dragon shall be the beginning of a dynasty in the making;

This is no place for fakers to be faking.

Step 1 is Dragon;

Step 2 is a cat called Dog.

Step 3 is a small dog called Cat,

And with that, the trinity shall be done.

These are my wishes,

They contain no fishes,

I may only keep pieces,

But these are my wishes.

Cats are better than dogs or fishes.

If dragons do exist,

Then place one beside me

And I will be something I have never been.

My dream is simple and I need these three,

To become the person you should see.

My wife will present one,

I shall discover the rest,

And one day our children’s names,

Will be added to the list.

My tale began a long time ago,

Where a pet was lost to sorrow.

Another one disappeared,

For she was no longer in our home.

The third began her family,

As did the first,

And a giant was born,

With thunder paws.

I hope they all know,

I will love them ‘til the end.

I hope they are all still at home,

And only I have been condemned.

I hope she still takes care of her,

Though she no longer cares for me.

I hope they multiply.

I love my animal family.

I will care for Dragon, like I cared for the others.

Mother, daughter, mother, son;

Dragon will need a brother.

A panther was lost,

It’s mother long gone.

A monkey stole my heart,

So now I am impatiently waiting for a dragon to become.
