2020 Non-Golden Successes
WHAT WAS HIS SIN?
A face at the window, it comes and it goes
Who was his owner? Nobody knows
Was he a plaything for children to poke?
Or the weapon of choice for a macho type bloke?
Did she get lost when allowed out to roam?
Or simply a puppy far too big for her
home?
Was she a nuisance when babies were born?
Or just the villain when sofas got torn?
The decor is new, did he no longer match?
Or was it the mud that he left in a
patch?
Could it be the cost for an elderly
fellow
Arthritic and slow with his teeth worn
and yellow?
Whatever the reason he’s counting on us
To entice him inside with the minimum
fuss
To feed him and teach him his comes and
sits
And show him a human can love him to bits
That love he’ll repay till the end of his days
Until God calls him back as he does with all strays
For they have been sent to teach humans to be
As forgiving and loving as the stray who ran free.
