There is a light ahead
Where am I going?
Ive arrived my first breath
Mum? What are you doing?
Its warm against her body
Feeling safe with the others
Why are we all different?
Are those my sisters and brothers?
Im moving but not with paws
Its one of those human beings
The little one is nearing
What is all this that Im seeing?
Mum! Why are you staying?
Im being taken by the others
Were moving away and theyre looking at me
Now Ill never see my Mother
Ow! A sharp pain in my leg
A hug from the human one
She feeds me and plays with me
Perhaps this life could be fun
Funny they touch with their mouths
They talk to a thing by their ears
They wear clothes and eat with sticks
Have they done this for all these years?
They move along in metal things
They watch things in a square
And listen to noises from a box
Ive got fur they have hair
Im supposed to be a humans best friend
I belong to the family I do
Some think Im a dumb animal
From what Ive seen so are you!
I have been writing poetry for many years and regularly have it published in print. My poetry is published by Forward Press and in many other publications. So I'm now putting my poetry online.
