Puppy Love

I knew the very day we met,

you brought a love I can't forget

A puppy love that knows no bounds,

as sacred as the holy ground

Looking in those eyes so pure

depression, sadness finds a cure.

The clumsy playful things you do,

that make me laugh and love you too.

Just like a white majestic dove,

there's magic in a puppy's love.

A Sheltered Life

Concrete walls and hardened glass,

replace fresh air and summer grass.

Feeding times and daily walks,

brief encounters shallow talk.

There goes Desi, young and cute,

a home for her, and hope renews.

Old dogs seem to stay a while,

people pass, without a smile

Saddened eyes and head hung low,

when, oh when, will our home show?

Thanks for stopping in today,

to take me out and let me play.

I know that someday I will find,

a love for me, a home that’s mine.

Maybe you will love me too,

I'm old and need a love so true.

Please don’t tease and bring me back,

Forever home, that's what I lack.

I live a very sheltered life

that’s full hope, but sometimes strife.
