Rescues Pets of the Homeless
God the news, this horrible ongoing news all the lies
The optics insane, people dying by the hundreds
A fake leader lying who does not read the news
As the virus surges, children lost and the earth dies
I have to bless dogs, so loving so attentive and true
Our devoted friends though they are so often abused
Treated like a dog, a dog of a movie. worked like a dog…
Dogs such gentle protective creatures that see you thru
They protect our police, and soldiers and the blind
Giving warmth and joy to sick children in hospital beds
Safety and companionship to those who are alone
Silly and fun, watchful and warriors, gentle and kind
I feel sad becaause of their warmth and joy so genuine so true
By me during the nights when I went through medical infusions
I wish I could bring another pup in from the cold
But this must be enough for I already have two rescues
The vigilance that a dog brings as a companion and friend
Whether you are homeless in a tent, an RV or a home
Give them a forever place for they will be loving and faithful
A sweet creature your helpmate caring and loving until the end
