Do Good

---

This old gal…

Did a thing…a sad thing…meant as a good thing…that became a bad thing…a sad bad this is not a rad thing…

That sweet Pumpkin of ours…wasn’t acting himself…didn’t come one day…then showed up and slept two days straight…

Didn’t eat…didn’t go to the bathroom…didn’t leave at night…just slept…and slept…and slept…

Worried he was sick…a neighbor mentioning her cat had died recently…so took him to the vet…in a little cat carrier…and while he was there…got his shots…

And now he’s mad and scared…running off the minute that carrier was opened…haven’t seen him in a week…call for him in the morning…look for him at night…

But nothing…just nothing…

And so it is…in life…sometimes doing the good thing…has consequences…can hurt…but not doing the good thing…in the end…can hurt…even more…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
