Got a beautiful poem in the mail from the Humane Society

[Mary Plummer]

today, and wanted to share it with all of you. It's part of their holiday fund drive, and I swear this poem was written for Mr. Blue!

It's called "The Gift" by J.M. Berry:

Eyes fearful, paws worn
A sorrowful sight
So forlorn

Love they said would be the cure
For the suffering
You had to endure

So our family grew that day
We brought you home
With us you'll stay

Slowly, gently the bond it grew
Faithful, loving
Loyal, true

Looking back it's so unclear
How we got by
Without you here

Trusted companion,
Devoted friend
You give and give
It never ends

They said we were a gift to you
But now we know
Who rescued who

This reminds me so much of our Blue boy! I know that, when people say how lucky he is, my response is always "No, look how lucky we are." I'll definitely be donating this season (although I was going to anyway), but I'm definitely going to thank them for this poem.
