My Shelter Days

My shelter days are numbered ten. Ten more days until my end. My shelter days are numbered eight. Please adopt me, change my fate. My shelter days are numbered six. I still have not been anyone's pick. My shelter days are numbered four. Four more days and then no more. My shelter days are numbered two. Someone will take me, I just don't know who. My shelter days are numbered one. I know I'm finished, then you come. My shelter days are over, finished, done because you opened your heart and gave me a home.

I'm glad this had a happy ending. I know many don't. Good use of personification, Billy! Love, Kim
