Does the slug I stepped on and killed know I am sorry. I didn't see you. I didn't mean to.
Does the ant I squished know I am sorry. I had to, you cannot live in my bathroom.
Do the birds who cry out warnings when I am near there best know I don't want to hurt them or their children.
Do the fireflies in the garden know I only catch them to see their beauty. That I will put them back unharmed.
Does the dog that barks all day from his cain know I blame his owners not him when animal control puts him down for biting a child.
Does the deer frozen in the middle of the road know that standing your ground works against wolves but not against cars.
Do the bones at the side of the road know I wish them safety in death life could not provide.
Does my dear sweet old cat who had a stroke and had to be euthanized last week know I am sorry, I wish there was another option, I didn't want to hurt you, you did nothing wrong, you are the best kitty in the world, I wish I could have saved you, I miss you so much, I hope you are safe now and not hurting anymore.
-To Daisy, the queen of cats
