I Knew It Would Be Hard, But.......

"Good Morning Shelley,

I thought of you when I read this poem in our Golden Tails Newsletter.

Have a great day."

A poem to my foster dog:

 

I am the bridge Between what was

and what can be.

I am the pathway to a new life.

I am made of mush,

Because my heart melted when I

saw you,

Matted and sore, limping,

depressed, Lonely, unwanted, afraid

to love.

For one little time you are mine.

I will feed you with my own hand

I will love you with my whole heart

I will make you whole.

I am made of steel.

Because when the time comes,

When you are well, and sleek,

When your eyes shine,

And your tail wags with joy

Then comes the hard part.

I will let you go--not without a tear,

But without a regret.

For you are safe forever–

A new dog needs me now.
