Poem Title:
Poem
Rex was a pound dog There he sat all caged A small and tiny puppy Waiting to be saved He sat in his cage at night Looking for a friend A person he could lay with A family to defend Then one early morning Rex awoke to see A little girl outside his cage Starling interestingly Daddy she said, pointing Can I have that dog? Why not go for something small He said, like a mouse or frog? She gently stood at the cage And whispered in his ear ”I will come back for you I will not leave you here” So they left the pound And Rex felt quite sad He thought he found a friend For a second he was glad So the next day he lay there In his cage alone He waited for that little girl To come and take him home. But she never came So Rex gave up hope He knew this is where he would stay He knew he had to cope He lived there ten long years In the pound he called home But one day would change his life He would no longer be alone A girl walked into the pound And pointed at his face She said I want to take him home Straight back to my place The girl was a familiar And though Rex wasn’t sure He thought that he had seen her Another time before Rex remembered those eyes The girl from long ago She remembered him from all those years And still had not let go She took him in the car And said “I did come back” “I’m sorry that it took so long Forgive me please for that” Rex was overcome with joy And though he’d waited long He finally found the family That he wanted all along
