Pets...

Furry bodies,

Precious faces.

I always found them

In the strangest places.

Shivering in fright,

With looks so pleading..

A warm place to live

Was all they were needing.

No money to pay,

For their room and board,

Unconditional love

Is its own reward.

Funny and curious,

Adventurous and bright,

Why do they always

Want to play at night?

Always content to be

Curled up in my lap,

Safe and sound

And taking a nap.

“Who wants a cookie?

Wag your tail if you do.”

To others, I’m a nurse,

But I’m “mom” to you!
