They say animals have wisdom

The cat 
She has learnt:
Take each day as it comes; 
Silently she sits and looks out 
From the sill, 
Serene and calm
In thought; 
Still the weather does not change 
She asks for the door 
She surveys, 
The wind on her fur,
The dampness on a paw,
Daintily she shakes it off
And draws back inside, 
A repeated ritual 
Until resigned 
To a neatly made bed;
She retreats
To sleep;
She has learned to be still; 
She has patience
When plans are changed; 
I must learn patience
Like the cat.
