The Wait

Here in a crate I sit here alone
Longing for a forever home
People to love me, pet me, feed me
I’m left by myself wanting people to own

Day by Day as time goes by
People just walk by and I give them a cry
They only glance by my way
And I can only sit down and sigh

The people just pass me by
They think I am too old
If they only knew
That I am only two?

I finally gave up
I sit in my crate
Am I finding a home
Or facing a fate?

A day finally came
The people I did see
I looked up forlorn
They were looking at me!

I ran to the door
With hope in my eyes
They just had to like me
I don’t want to die

They took me in and gave me lots of love
A great forever home
Thank you for the rescuers
And I’ll never again be alone
