What I see in this photo is a lost little soul. Most animals become helpless if they are tossed into the wild, not wanted or cared for anymore, or owner is incapable of caring for them.
It breaks my heart to see such things and makes me wish I could care for them all. I can't look at any of them without shedding a tear.....
Your heart melted,
we became one.
Tossing a ball,
you burn off my energy
under the sun.
Years fly by.
I watch you grow weaker every day.
By your side,
that is where I'm meant to stay.
You've gone to Heaven now,
and my home is no more.
Slowly my hunger takes its toll.
I lay by storefront,
with nigh even a bowl.
....
You're afraid to approach,
as you see my laying there.
I shake because I'm scared,
hungry, and all alone.
With a coaxing voice,
and a slow moving step,
you cautiously come nearer,
to the only place,
I learned to accept.
My head lays low,
my tail barely wags.
I watch you closely,
as you open the bags.
Thus begins a journey,
of your daily returns.
Slowly my tail wags a bit more.
Your comforting voice
and gentle touch,
brings back memories
of things that I missed.
Slowly I began to follow,
and you see the distance between,
is not too much.
You took me in,
and gave me hope.
Gave me the strength,
and let me heal.
Love for a new master,
is ok to feel.
