 | | Purred: Sun Jul 22, '07 3:09pm PST | |  | |  | | Baggage
Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed,
All nicely tucked in my warm new bed.
I'd like to open my baggage
Lest I forget,
There is so much to carry -
So much to regret.
Hmm . . . Yes, there it is, right on the top
Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss,
And there by my leash hides Fear and Shame.
As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave -
I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain.
I loved them, the others, the ones who left me,
But I wasn't good enough - for they didn't want me.
Will you add to my baggage?
Will you help me unpack?
Or will you just look at my things -
And take me right back?
Do you have the time to help me unpack?
To put away my baggage,
To never repack?
I pray that you do - I'm so tired you see,
But I do come with baggage -
Will you still want me?

What morning when you waken
Is the right one to decide
That this dog will be forsaken
And no more with you abide?
A dog like this, she'll find a home
And what will be the harm
In telling all the children
That she'll be living on a farm?
As you bring her in and leave her
In her lonely metal cage
And act as though you have no choice
I feel a silent rage
What heinous thing has this dog done?
What has been her crime?
Or are there other things more pressing
And you don't have the time?
This dog who loved her master
And served him day by day
Has become an inconvenience
And has now been sent away
She keeps a faithful vigil
The tears in my eyes burn
While with trusting expectation
She awaits for your return
A dog like this will have no home,
No master will be found
For who will take an older dog
When younger ones abound?
Now at last her time has come,
And with a gentle nod
I'll cradle your dog in my arms
And send her back to God. | | | | |

By Gina Richey
Don't close the door
Don't push me away
Why are you leaving?
Don't make me stay.
Slow down the car
I can't keep up
This pavement is hot
and my pads are cut.
I've got to quit running
or my heart will pop
Every muscle is aching
why didn't you stop?
I'm so hungry and thirsty
Darkness is near
But I shouldn't leave
He will come for me here
Several weeks have passed
I'm dead on my feet
They call me a nuisance
because I eat off the streets
Every car that passes
I chase it to see
If it is my master
coming for me
Though I approach
those that come near
With trust in my eyes
and no sign of fear
With hate in their voices
and a cold, heartless stare
They threaten to kill me
They don't even care
Batter my body
with rocks that they throw
I will not leave
He will come, Don't you know.
Overtaken with weakness
my body is numb
I'm sick and so lonely
Oh please, let him come!
I will go back
to where he first threw me out
I'll wait for him there
He will come, no doubt
My thoughts are fading
My chest feels like lead
I'm sleepy, so sleepy
I can't lift my head
It's so quiet, so peaceful
all remains still
There is my master
at my home on the hill
Yes, I can see him
He's calling my name
His voice is so gentle
His hands are the same
He decided he wants me
Things will be fine
I really do love him
that master of mine.
My tail wags with pleasure
I can't catch my breath
He came in my dreams
but so did my Death | | | | |

One by One, they pass by my cage,
Too old, too worn, too broken, no way.
Way past her time, she can't run and play.
Then they shake their heads slowly and go on their way.
A little old lady, arthritic and sore,
It seems I am not wanted anymore.
I once had a home, I once had a bed,
A place that was warm, and where I was fed.
Now my muzzle is grey, and my eyes slowly fail.
Who wants a dog so old and so frail?
My family decided I didn't belong,
I got in their way, my attitude was wrong.
Whatever excuse they made in their head,
Can't justify how they left me for dead.
Now I sit in this cage, where day after day,
The younger dogs get adopted away.
When I had almost come to the end of my rope,
You saw my face, and I finally had hope.
You saw thru the grey, and the legs bent with age,
And felt I still had life beyond this cage.
You took me home, gave me food and a bed,
And shared your own pillow with my poor tired head.
We snuggle and play, and you talk to me low,
You love me so dearly, you want me to know.
I may have lived most of my life with another,
But you outshine them with a love so much stronger.
And I promise to return all the love I can give,
To you, my dear person, as long as I live.
I may be with you for a week, or for years,
We will share many smiles, you will no doubt shed tears.
And when the time comes that God deems I must leave,
I know you will cry and your heart ... it will grieve.
And when I arrive at the Bridge, all brand new,
My thoughts and my heart will still be with you.
And I will brag to all who will hear,
Of the person who made my last days so dear.
