I would've died that day if
not for you.
I would've given up on life
if not for your kind eyes.
I would've used my teeth in
fear if not for your gentle
hands.
I would've have left this
life believing that all
humans don't care.
Believing there is no such
thing as fur that isn't
matted
skin that isn't flea bitten
good food and enough of it
beds to sleep on
someone to love me
to show me I deserve love
just because I exist.
Your kind eyes, your loving
smile, your gentle hands
Your big heart saved
me........
You saved me from the terror
of the pound
Soothing away memories of my
old life.
You have taught me what it
means to be loved.
I have seen you do the same
for other dogs like me.
I have heard you ask
yourself in times of despair
Why you do it
When there is no more money,
no more room, no more homes
You open your heart a little
bigger, stretch the money a
little tighter
Make just a little more
room....to save one more
like me
I tell you with gratitude
and love that shines in my
eyes
In the best way I know how
Reminding you why you go on
trying.
I am the reason
The dogs before me are the
reason
As are the ones who come
after.
Our lives would have been
wasted, our love never
given.
We would've died if not for
you.
