A new home

I sit in a crate watching all the people

Some of them seem kind

Others seem unpleasant

I like most of them though

~

I call out to them and let them know I’m here

Some look my way

Others pay me no attention

Eventually though they all walk on

~

Day in and day out I sit here

I’m barely allowed to go out of my crate

But when I do I make sure to thank the people who are taking care of me

I wish I could have a home though

~

One day the people are really nice to me

They bring me special food

They let me out more and play with me

But all of them their eyes seem so sad

~

A small person comes in to the room while I am out

She takes one look at me and runs over

She cups my face with her tiny hands

And stares into my eyes

~

Instantly I love this tiny person

She sees me and she wants to see me

She turned around to a bigger person and says something

"I want this one! I love him so much!"

Soon there is a leash being put on me

~

I’m led out to a car like the one I came here in

I’m allowed to get inside of it with the tiny person

The whole time we are driving

The tiny person keeps staring into my eyes and smiling

~

When the car stops the tiny person cups my face again

She stares deep into my eyes and whispers

“Welcome to your forever home.”
