Senior Dog Poem

One by one, they pass my cage,A little old dog, arthritic with age.Way past his prime, can’t run and can’t play.They shake their heads slowly and go on their way.
I once had a home, I once had a bed,A place that was warm, and where I was fed.Now my muzzle is gray, and my eyes slowly fail.Who wants a dog so old and so frail?
My family decided I didn’t belong,I got in their way, my attitude was wrong.Whatever excuse they made in their head,Can’t justify how they left me for dead.
When I had come to the end of my rope,You looked at my face, and I finally had hope.Your saw thru the gray, and the legs bent with age,And felt I still had life beyond this cage.
You took me home, gave me food and a bed,And shared your own pillow with my poor tired head.We snuggle and play, and you talk to me low,You love me so dearly, you want me to know.
I may have lived most of my life with another,But you outshine them all with a love so much stronger.And I promise to return all the love I can give,To you, my dear person, as long as I live.
I may be with you for a week, or for years,We will share many smiles, you will no doubt shed tears.And when the time comes that God deems I must leave,I know you will cry and your heart, it will grieve.
And when I arrive at the Bridge, all brand new,My thoughts and my heart will still be with you.And then I will brag to all who will hear,Of the person who made my last days so dear.
