in a begrimed puppy mill is where my life began!.
in the cold of dawn's beautiful and violaceous light!.
in anticipation of my genesis, my mother suffered through the night!.
at 6 weeks old, i was wrested from my mother's nurture by the greedy grasp of brutish hominids!.
they kept us caged up in filthy chicken wire tight!.
through her tears shetold me to be brave and not despair!.
that someday someone will care and there will always be a light!.
that's why when i see you, i still wag my tail & dream of futures bright!.
of playing catch in the green grass, & reveling in the sunlight of golden afternoons!.
when you took me home from the pet shop, my heart glowed inspirited!.
to have a home & family i felt finally gifted!.
totally oblivious of my fate that would tomorrow befall!.
how was i to know you would tire of me so soon!?
as a starved and missbegotten whelp, i was wandering the streets!.
in the dying embers of november, i thought of my mother sweet!.
she told me someday someone will care and there will always be a light!.
that's why when i see you, i still wag my tail & dream of futures bright!.
while trying to sprint across the avenue, led by the scent of food,
i was struck by a speeding car at the change of a traffic light!.
at that moment, everything went black!.
i awoke embraced by warm arms in uniforms of green and caring voices saying "careful, looks like she broke her back"!.
as angels of deliverance, they took me to a place where i soon learned that not all humans are mean!.
dear mother you were right, you told me someday someone will care and there will always be a light!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
