A Poem to My Foster Dog

A wonderful poem that was sent to me by a friend.  This poem really spoke to my heart and is so true.

A Poem To My Foster Dog

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, 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 regret,

for you are safe forever -

A new dog needs me now
