Over the Rainbow

The snow is falling and I am so cold 
It might be caused since I am so old
I heard them say I'm  not good for 
much anymore
And that all I do is lie on the floor
If I could talk I could say how much 
I have pain
And when I lie down its hard to get 
up again 
Why did they leave me here in the 
snow and cold 
I've no one now where shall I find 
to go
I'm so tired I must now lie down 
and sleep 
It's very strange I feel warmth 
beginning to creep
It's becoming harder for me to 
see
But I hear dogs barking where 
can they be
A beautiful dog is now standing 
near 
He said I'm going to a place with 
no pain to bear
That's where the dogs are barking 
is what he said
Not to worry he tells me now I'll have 
a warm bed

I see you love animals too. Such a nice poem to make people more aware of how much some dogs suffer in the cold weather. So sad.

It's so nice to meet an "animal person" thank you for your kind words and you're so right about the animals' cold and hot weather suffering.
