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.
