Breeder's Prayer
I've never known their anguish; I've never felt their pain, the caring of I've
never sat the whole night through, waiting for babies to be born,
I've never felt the heartache of a little life in my hands, this darling little
baby, who  weighs but 60 grams.
Should you do that instead of this . . . or this instead of that?
Alone you fight and hope one day, he'll grow to be a cat.
You pray heʼll live to bring joy to another family, and make a house a
home.
You know it's all just up to you; you'll fight this fight alone.
Formula, bottles, heating pads, you've got to get this right,
two-hour feedings for this tiny guy, throughout the day and night.  
In your heart you know you're almost sure to lose this epic fight, to save
this little baby,
but God willing . . . you just MIGHT.
Day one he's in there fighting; you say a silent prayer.
Day two & three, he's doing well, with lots of love and care.  
Day four & five . . . he's still alive; your hopes soar to the heavens.  
Day six he slips away again, dies in your hands day seven.
You take this little angel, and bury him alone.
With aching heart and burning tears, and an exhausted groan, you ask
yourself,
"Why do this? . . . Why suffer all this pain?"
But see the joy your kittens bring . . . it really self-explains.
So, when you think of breeders and label them with "Greed,"
Think about what they endure to fill anotherʼs need.
When you buy a kitten, and with your precious dollars part,
You only pay with money . . .  we pay with a piece of our heart.
