There’s a brand new life
Breathing its first breath
Curled up in a ball.
It’s small and helpless
But one day it will be strong
And know how to help its self.
At first it may crawl
But soon it will learn to walk
And then it will run.
It’s so beautiful
To watch it go fast asleep
And then start to dream.
From a little pup
That drinks it mother sweet milk
To eating soft food.
Then becomes a friend
Who will always say hello
With a wag of its tail.
Beautiful tribute
Beautiful tribute to a species that has loved us faithfully for millenia. Even the most mongrolized dog has more love to offer than a good many human beings. Thanks for reminding me, in your poetic way, how much I should appreciate the two dogs with whom I have the great privilege of sharing a home.
