Another Visitor In The Night Meowling from the cold and hunger Another visitor came and wander Its small cries splitting the still of the night Like a baby in distress and in fright A clatter there and a thud here This little kitten sure knows how to bother Crying outside the window relentlessly One can tell it is very hungry In a moonlit night, I padded to the kitchen Not clicking on the light, I let the moon shine on me Prepared a little snack for the meowling visitor Lest sleep would be a no-go for everyone in here A toasted bread soaked in milk would do I tasty treat for our little visitor who comes and go Outside, I lay the bowl on the pavement Walking back,a small shadow darts near the refreshment I don't look back anymore and went inside the house It has been over a year this little visitor comes in the night and only at night A small sound of "thank you" floats in the cold night air everytime It used to fright me but I've gotten used to the mystery Our little visitor, the meowling little cat, a friend who watches in the dark
