Dog

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.
