I know. _{I know.}
they are limited, have different
needs and
concerns.

but I watch and learn from them.
I like the little they know,
which is ^so
much.

they complain but _never
worry,
they walk with a ^surprising dignity.
they sleep with a _direct simplicity ^that
humans _just can't
understand.

their eyes are ^more
beautiful than our eyes.
and they can sleep 20 hours
a day
without
hesitation ^or
remorse.

when I am feeling
^lo_w
all I have to do is
_watch my ^cats
and my
courage
returns.

I study these
creatures.

they are my
teachers.
