Hope

He lay there all forlorn Wishing someone would give him a home His legs might be bent but he can still walk Can be very verbal when we talk He just lies here, has no one to love him Eyes are so sad, heartache within No one to hold him to say its ok No one to watch him when he tries to play There must be someone whose heart i melt He thinks as he lays there with hope not felt Whats this a little  guy in a wheelchair Went to pass by, but stopped to stare Mam he cries he is just like me Cant walk so good from what I can see Can he come home with us  he can ride on my lap When his legs are tired, he's a bright little chap So now there is hope and love in these eyes I have a new playmate and a home thats a surprise I am the happiest boxer pup in town Have a big grin where once was a frown.

A very nice poem that obviously has another underneath meaning that you were talking about, or at least it would seem so. Nice take on hope, good work again.

What a touching poem. Boxers are quite adorable in their own right. This hit hard for me, a dog lover. =)
