Keeping A Promise

When I left home I left there a piece of my mind What it keeps saying to me Robs my peace of mind Your attention not paid For her cat clawed cut Asking her if it still hurts Should have got her a band-aid Defocused out of sight Forgot so much from last night Never asked once If by any chance Her feet’s ache still remains If she in her morn’s walk Felt the pain And she was home before the rains I think of asking her all these The questions I left behind Some more some more Then in the evening As she opens the door I remember some Forget more Maybe not even one I can remember The pains of her Inside outside At night by her side Promise her I’ll not be forgetful See her clawed thumb-head Plastered with band-aid Her feet swollen And she promises She will not go out in the rain again.
