Diary of a Rescue Dog - Sad Dog- (Part Twenty Two)

The kennel staff were so upset
to see me be returned,
none of them could understand
since I was such a loving pet.

They told me things would be okay
and I would not be there for long,
but my heart could not be comforted
for I was truly broken down.

People passed my kennel
and told me how sad I looked,
they never failed to mention
how old I was looking too.

I don't think that I want too much,
just a home to call my own,
perhaps some exercise and play,
and a bed to comfort these old bones.

But maybe by tomorrow
my grey fur will turn back,
and people won't look past me
in a world where everything changes,
and no one ever accepts me.
