A poem written for my rescue dog Nathan a dachshund who was abandoned two times until he was sent to me. the best little giant in the world!
Nathan the Giant
A little giant he became discarded because of his age
Surrendered to a cold steel cage
His warm soft bed traded for a dog pound
Confined in fear his bellows abound
Trying to drown out the growling sounds
Standing tall upon his stubby legs
Take me home he begs
This little Dachshund a Giant he became
Hoping to once again claim a family name
She wondered in looking for a companion
Feeling the cold crates and tearing
I want to capture all of them so Dearing
But one caught her sight, as he stood so austere
He is the one sent to me from above
She knew of his journey through fearful times
So connected was she as she traveled same signs
She cradled him daily and promised this godsend
That together they would be forever friends
He returned to safety and warmth in his new home
No need for a bed for hers was his dome
Together their lonely spirits were no more
For this little one gave her love evermore
The once empty lives became an old adventure
Nathan the Dachshund became her little giant treasure
