This is a story about Muff, a wee Mouse,
Who lived in an old ramshackled farm house
But not in peace, for Fritz lived there too,
A Cat who enjoyed giving him the blues!
Fritz also much annoyance knew,
For there also lived a Dog, known as Ol' Blue
Who didn't bother the Mouse at all,
But in rustling the Cat, he sure had a ball!
And last but not least, was a kindly old Gent,
Whose loving Care on his critters was spent.
They were all the family he knew for so long,
Yet he grieved for all the strife shown.
He tried his best to get them to behave,
And Love one another--for that's all he had
But it seemed their nature took control,
Thus affecting the Peace that they could know.
So one Christmas Eve, this kindly poor Gent,
With no extra money, on prayer's knee he bent
"Dear Lord, I would ask a gift for us, so small,
I ask believing, Your Power over all."
"Just for a moment,yes, even a day,
May all my household show Love's Peace, I pray
And may we know the Joy of each other,
Without any strife, and so be together!"
The old man in tears, touched by the thought,
Blew out the candle to the bed he had brought
He knew in his heart, all would benefit,
If his prayer came true, and he meant it!
In dim early light that Christmas began,
As a great day of blessing filled the land.
At first he ne'er noticed, this kindly old man,
Things were all quiet, just where was his clan?
He came down the stairs, on his cane he did lean,
To see a sight, that he'd never seen
There in a circle, sat a group of three,
All peaceful and calm in sweet unity!
Muff was so happy--so obviously pleased,
With the big hunk he had,(Colby Cheese)
That Fritz had brought him- upon strange impulse,
A kindly gesture, with goodly results.
And that was not all, for on this strange day,
Ol'Blue was so peaceful, unmindful of play.
He too shared a busy-ball with his long time foe,
So long that was lost--with purrs Fritz did glow!
So stunned by the sight, not wanting to stare,
The old man eased down in his easy chair
And one by one, they all came to snuggle,
'Til they were all in his lap, and he started to giggle.
"I ne'er would have thought in all of my days,
To witness such Love, overcoming past ways;
A Cat, a Dog, a Man and a Mouse,
Now all together as One in this house!"
Was he just dreaming, he didn't think so,
It seem strange-but real, this critter trio.
All day was a wonder of sharing Love bright,
And kind interaction with mutual delight!
When ebbed the dark shadows of night coming on,
All warmed and filled with the day that was done
He hugged all his critters for the Love they had shown,
And then climbed the stairs of his most peaceful home.
He stooped by his bed, his prayer to convey,
"Oh Thank You, Dear Lord, for this most perfect day.
You answered my prayer, and we all were so blest,
We had perfect Love, with true caring and zest."
"I do not know what tomorrow may bring,
They all may be back to doing their thing
But I hope in some way, they might never forget,
This day we all had--which could still happen yet!"
