Poem to my Foster Dog
I am the bridge
Between what was and what can be.
I am the pathway to a new life.
My heart melted when I saw you,
Matted and sore, limping, depressed,
Lonely, unwanted, afraid to love.
For one little time you are mine.
I will feed you with my own hand
I will love you with my whole heart
I will make you whole.
I am made of steel.........
Because when the time comes,
When you are well, and sleek,
When your eyes shine,
And your tail wags with joy
Then comes the hard part....
I will let you go.
Not without a tear,
but without a regret.
For you are safe forever--
A new dog needs me now
