A Beautiful Soul

A little puppy walks alone,

Tears are falling from his eyes,

They twinkle in the sunlight,

Dazzling as they fall to the ground,

He sheds the his tears without a word,

This abandoned little puppy walks a barren road,

He shivers in the cold damp air,

His dull brown fur is wet and sodden,

The dew runs down his body like rain,

No one spares a glance at such an ordinary puppy,

Paws scratched and torn,

Wearily he plods onward,

Searching for someone to comfort him,

To hold him and soothe away his fears,

To wash away his tears,

He pleads at them with his eyes,

Please take me home,

I will be oh so faithful to you,

Please just give me one chance,

To show you how much extraordinary I can be,

Timidly his wet nose twitches,

As a shadow falls across his path,

A soft hand smoothes his aching heart,

She lifts his chin and looks him in the eyes,

“Wow what a beautiful little puppy you are.”
