My Reflection on 5 Years in CLAW

by Mewsette

CLAW has taught me many things And brought me many friends. It's had some fun beginnings, and It's had a few sad ends. I've learned to use my talents In a bold, assertive way, And learned I can't move mountains No matter what I say. I've aged from twelve to seventeen, And left my mark behind. I've always loved to serve my Queen, And I also speak my mind. I learned we may not always get What we think we deserve. But once I'd learned to rule, I knew That it was time to serve. The funny thing, as years have passed, As I resolved small quarrels, I kept on thinking, Now at last, I'll rest upon my laurels. But some new challenge beckons me, Or some friend will inspire, And off I go again, to be An old, but burning, fire. There's power in our numbers, More than one small cat could touch, When many cats together work, Accomplishing so much. So if we get discouraged, we Get up and try some more. I just can't help it, I must be A CLAW cat to the core. What I might like to do this year Is help CLAW have some fun, Keep my friends and comrades near, And love them, every one. We never know how long a time We'll get to wear this crown . So whether it's hard or it's sublime, I'll never lay it down.
