An early summer day, a 9-year-old boy fishing with his tabby
When suddenly the sky fell down, rumbling and shaky
The boy found himself at the bottom of the pond
With shattered pieces of houses, trunks, and his tabby.
The same summer day, 200 kilometers away
A calico cat basking peacefully in the sun rays
Purring with the cry of a newborn baby girl
In a house of warmth, tranquility and grace.
Fast forward through time and through space
Through warfare and hardships, through up-and-down days
The boy and the girl have found their way together
For their own kitty cat that is growing up today.
