As daylight
broke, a car sped off, down by the sandy beach,
no one could
hear the doleful cries, so cruelly out of reach.
As the day grew
hot, the cries grew dim, no hope of help seemed near,
no helping hand,
or soft kind word, only hunger, thirst and fear.
By 4 o'clock,
with the sun still hot, wiping a tear from her eye,
a young girl
walking in the cooling sand, tried to fathom her lovers goodbye.
Away from the
happy, bustling crowds, not wanting to be found,
she sat behind
the towering rocks, and through her tears, heard a pitiful sound.
She looked
around, but couldn't see, yet her heart felt very sure,
that something
needed all her help, then she heard the sound once more.
Reaching behind
the big grey rock, she slowly pulled out a black bag,
and with racing
heart, she looked inside, and saw, what she thought, was just rag.
But as daylight
and air breathed life inside, so the rag moved and eye and an ear,
then a small
black nose and little pink tongue, brought again to her eyes, a tear.
As she gently
took the pup from the bag, she knew just what she would do,
for humans can
be cruel and heartless, but a dogs’ love for you is so true.
As he nestled
his tired body against her, he let out a gentle sigh,
if her lover
hadn't left her, would he have been left there to die?
