It's All Humane

It’s All Humane It’s cold at night and I’m all alone They said that this is my new home. The metal cage and cold stone floor I wish that I could ope the door. Don’t know what happened, it’s plain to see The other day I was one of three. The sky grew dark, and next I knew, I looked around, and we were two. A pretty girl came to see, what’s in the cage, She looked at me. Her little hands came through and plucked The other pup, just his luck! I’m scared in here, and cold and small, I’d love to wander down the hall, And maybe find a warm soft bed, To lay my worried sleepy head. I’m shaking now, I see the morn. I guess I’m smaller than the norm. My one eye shut I cannot see I limp and shake terribly. Oh wait here come some little feet With metal straps and clinking sticks He seems so cute he has a patch And oh my gosh, he lifts the latch. His hands are warm and gentle touch I think he loves me very much! He kissed me twice and hugged me tight I don’t want to be here another night. “Mommy please, I like this one, I think we’ll have a lot of fun.” “And now I know that God can see, This puppy looks a lot like me.” Two very happy small new friends Limp and fall and try to run A silent pack of bravery I’ll love you, if you love me.

Miss Jeralynn, ( That name IS poetry.) Beautiful. I started to tear up. It's not a masterpiece, but you know what, I don't care! Some poems have a purpose and remembered long after so called master works bore the hell out of us. This is one. You really reached inside me today because I've lived this several times. Thank you! Regards, Gerard. P.S. correct ope to open in verse one. Simple keyboard error. GK.
