To My Foster Dog

This is a really great poem. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

A POEM TO MY FOSTER DOG
By Diane Morgan

I am the bridge,
Between what was and what can be.
I am the pathway to a new life.

I am made of mush,
Because 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.

Awwwwwwwwww.....beautiful Kerrie, and very apt for you and all the others who continually foster dogs!

Now I'm leaking all over my keyboard. Very nice.

Oh, yes. I love this poem. It is so, so true to life.

I am a mess....I should not have read this at work. It is so true. People always ask how I do it, and each time one leaves I ask myself the same thing. It is so hard, but so rewarding. I try to remember that when I am a sniveling mess.
