My Christmas Poem

[courtnek]

Feel free to cross post or send on if you like, it's not great, but it suddenly seemed necessary to write it.

Christmas is coming, it's that time of year,
where everyone offers each other good cheer.
Where presents are opened from under the tree,
Children are smiling, and people are happy...

But not far away, in 'most every space,
are pets gotten rid of, unwanted, displaced.
Their sad little faces stare out from a crate,
They dont understand why their owners are late.

They dont understand why they're in here at all,
they patiently wait for their people to call.
The call doesnt come, as the lights are shut down,
They dont understand, they just want to go home.

So this year for Christmas my wishes will be
that each of these creatures will get to be free.
To go home with someone who'll love them at last,
and give them a chance to forget their sad past.

And me, as I write this, I look at my two...
the scared silly Foxhound, my Lab/Pointer too.
And I think of how lonely my own life would be,
If for some reason they were gone from me.

I give them both hugs and then call the old cat...
who of course doesnt answer, gee, imagine that!

I tell them I love them, and I always will.
I'll feed them, and keep them, from winters cold chill.
and I promise them that they will never perceive
the inside of a shelter on MY Christmas Eve!!

Happy Holidays to all...
