Dog-Gone

Straggy sad dog left all alone, head on her paws sleeping on stone. Skin and bare bone, her life undone, eyes dimly see, rain is to come. Death softly cries "Oh little one, come here to me, I am the sun" Her tail wags once her heart's last leap, This little puppy, slips into sleep. Wakes in your arms holding her dear, A dream she had, distant past clear. She could be yours She could be mine One never knows Until it's time.
