Starting to Dream
I immediately went to the other baby panther and let her go to her momma who was apparently in search of them. I frantically began to search for my camera in hopes of capturing this magnificent splendor before my eyes because the momma panther was the biggest and well only panther I had ever seen. She was not just any kind of giant she was like a Clifford version of a panther towering in height outside my window. I let the idea of keeping her babies fade away, I was prepared to let them be with their momma panther and left altogether from the window.
I found myself wandering upstairs to the balcony. For some reason our neighbors were what seemed to be a sort of childcare center, but in a beautiful house. As I was on the balcony I looked over and the teacher was exiting across the street from her classroom and she had a line of children following her out. They began to sing a morning song, how I know it was their morning song I do not recall, perhaps it was because they did it each sunrise that dawned. I remember the balcony of ours had no railing and Josiah was getting too close to the edge than I was comfortable with, so I went towards him to grab him closer.

It was a sad sorrow that was piercing a piercing silence as we rushed back down the stairs to our beloved and very much missed baby panthers.
As we went down to the first window I saw the baby panthers scratching to be let back in, their momma panther nowhere in sight. I was trying to open the window to let them in and noticed our little furry friend, a tiny white mouse with a bright pink nose and a happy smile. Though I was not afraid of our tiny mouse I delegated to Josiah to get his mouse so I could open the window. They grabbed their little furry friend and took him to safety and I finally opened the window. The two baby panthers jumped in with excitement and happiness, they jumped into my arms and we stayed like that for I don't know how long, just hugging and thankful to be reunited once more. Their bodies so strong and beautifully smooth like silk it was like a dream, in fact it was,...
