To All the Dogs in Shelters
To all the dogs in shelters, Waiting for their deaths: I hope tonight you dream so sweetly Of fields so big and green; trees so high and protecting— You don’t understand that you’ve been abandoned; Your family is never coming back. I hope you feel safe and comfortable On your final night; And when morning arrives, I hope you still feel happy (Your face...

Storm Shelters
I left at sixteen slamming the front door, I returned at seventy-four, gently pushing against rusted hinges. I won't say I took a long road. I'll not wail of the shortness of it.

The Leaf That Shelters Us All
Droplets of rain slide off velvety wings As it flies toward the trees for shelter there. After a drought, needed moisture it brings Hiding under the leaf, safe without a care. Wings folded, it waits for the storm to pass, For the clouds to break, for the sun to glow. Its wings to dry out, all is well at last For the...

He Shelters Me With Care
When I'm down and my troubles overtake me, And I can't understand just what to do, I feel so small and He's so far up above me, I wonder can He really see and hear me,too. My hope, I call on Him to listen, For, I know His answers will be true. On Him I pour my troubled soul, For I know...
