Maybe I've only two days to live.
No one has come - I feel - I don't know why
I am to die. But I forgive.
In my dog's head I've such a happy memory
Of when I was free.
Loved you nearly all of my life
And now think of those six happy years
Without fears or strife
How you 'swung' me across the doorway -
Maybe a game?
You disappeared - I do not blame -
Went far beyond the highway. I got lame
I dragged myself in the ditch alone
My broken paw making me moan
I ended here, in this cage, where I must stay
Wait for you to find me every day.
I still love you so. I want it like before
Not this steel door and cement floor!
Night softly invades my cage
I will not rage,
Will not sleep, I'll wait for the dawn
Remembering us on our green lawn
I love you still
This is D.J. I adopted him from the S.P.C.A. when he was 2 years old. He is now 9. He is my loyal friend.
