A tiny fur ball a brand new life, hard to believe her
beginning was with so much strife.
For her Mama had three kittens, the poor things died,
Except for this little waif, somehow stayed alive.

Mama protected her and would let no one near,
With what she went through, you can imagine her fear.
For the longest time we never saw her around,
But she was there, with the loudest meow

The cutest little kitten now, she loves to run and jump,
She was afraid of everyone at first, but everyone
showed her love.

She doesn't know how much joy she gives or what a miracle
she is.    And whenever I look at the pretty face, I know,
of a little kitten that somehow turned a terrible sorrow
 into a beautiful Rainbow.
