A Puppy's Lonely Tears
In the wee hours of morning;
I hear his lonely cries;
I don't know where he lives;
Shrill sounds of his broken heart;
Touches me deep in my soul;
His master has left him alone;
To sleep out in the cold;
No comfortable rug to lie on;
No familiar sounds;
Of his master's voice or footsteps;
He is separated and anxious;
I wish that I could help him;
And offer him some comfort;
It is clear that he is suffering;
I want to go to him;
And give him a big hug;
To make him feel better;
And to dry his tears;
But that is not possible;
So all I can do is cry and say a prayer;
Then I try to get some sleep.

Post a CommentAh, such a sensitive soul you are indeed. Well done.
Wonderful, heart wrenching! I love puppies. :-0
Poor Puppy, makes me wish I could find him.
Such a tender and thoughtful poem. I can't stand to see puppies kept out in the cold weather.
This is a very sad piece that only confirms the truth that some people shouldn't keep pets.
What a sweet poem, but sad, puppies are like babies they need some extra love and attention. And they need lotsa hugs from us!
Good writing as usual. Nancie
