But before my mom could talk, customers formed a 

line, there was no time. She told me we’d talk about 

it tonight. I told her “alright.”

All day I dreamt of my new best 

friend. A small fluffy kitten who 

would follow me around.

Be by my side, either smile or 

frown. Would it be a he or she? 

White, black, orange, or gray? 

Green or blue eyed? Spotted or 

striped?   How would my kitten look 

like? 

What about a name? It can’t be 

lame. How about Pasqual, Beauty 

or King? No, I need to see him 

before I think of naming.

The day went by, the moon rose high. I was in bed patiently 

waiting. When mommy came in my room with some bad news. 

“Mija, your dad and I talked. We thought about it a lot. We think 

it would be nice for you to get a kitten. But it's too high of a 

price. We can’t get you one now but there's no need to pout. 

You will get a kitten someday, somehow.”

She kissed my forehead and was about to walk out. Then she 

noticed I was sad and chose to sit down. 

 “There’s no need to be 

sad because you have a 

heavenly dad. Who you 

can ask for anything. 

Whether it be huge or 

small, God can give it 

all.” 

That made me feel better, It truly did. 

As soon as she left, I closed my eyes and bowed my head. I 

knew God was there with no time to spare.I spoke these 

words.

“Dear Lord, thank you for 

everything

thank you for my mom, dad, 

cousin, and sister. I know you’re 

a busy mister. 

So, thank you for listening to me 

now. There's just something I 

really need to talk to you about

Something I really want. It can 

be bought. 

Mommy said it would be nice. It's 

just to high of

a price. 

So Lord can you get me 

one?One kitten just one? I’ll 

groom it and feed it and play 

with it all day.

Teach it about you because 

it’ll love you too.

Doesn’t matter if its blue or 

green eyed. I’ll take care of it 

every time it cries.

So lord thank you for your 

time to hear this heart wish 

of mine. Amen."

The next day came and then another. I still had no kitten. Did 

God not listen? Maybe he was busy, being God isn’t easy.I 

didn’t know what to do so I went to my mom. 

“Mom?” I asked “Does God 

hear all our prayers?''

She smiled and said “of 

course he does then he 

prepares.

He might be silent now but 

keep asking and don’t 

doubt”

You have to be patient and 

know he’s never late.

Good things will come to 

those who wait.”

That night I did pray and my heart did not dismay. I 

knew God would hear and even if I waited a year. One 

day I knew God would come through. Each night 

before I lay I would bow my head and pray.

Then after a few days. I was at my family’s store sitting. 

Still thinking about my future kitten. When the bell on 

the door made a loud ring.
