Finally Home

To look at your eyes, They’re so big and so brown. I’d reach forward to pet you, Ears fall to the ground. My eyes fill with tears, As I pull away, How many years Have you been caged this way? How long has it been? Since you took a swim? How long did you wait For a scratch on your chin? How many nights Have you slept all alone? When is the last time You chewed on a bone? I’m taking you home Is all I could think, I’ll fill you with food, So much water to drink. You can play with new friends, Have a bed of your own. Even sleep with us all, Instead of alone. There will be no more cages, And bars like a jail, I will scratch your chin, Until you wag your tail. Welcome home sweet one Please do come on in, Hey look at our pool, Let’s go for a swim.
