Before Getting a Bunny-For Brian
Love him well, his heart is bruised
He's lonely, frightened and confused,
He knows not choice like you and me,
The likes of him are never free.
His mother gone and siblings too
From now on he'll depend on you.
Be sure to see him every day,
Don't pass his hutch and walk away.
Let him play and feel the sun,
He loves to skip and jump and run.
And though he's mute, he listens well
Your secrets he will never tell.
Be kind to him and he'll live long
If he is happy, he'll be strong
Most of his kind get locked away
Forgotten about, day on day.
Love him and he'll fill your soul
And break your heart when he grows old.
Then when it comes to let him go,
Feel blessed, to know he loved you so.
For Brian (the Bunny) May 2004-Dec 2014
