A Shelter Poem, By Michael F. Janke

Hello my little friend
You come to me with heart to mend
I know not why they let you go
I only know you need help so
I tend your needs and then you start
To share your love, to steal my heart
The time will come to watch you go
With one I trust to love you so
My heart will break, my eyes will tear
But go you must with no more fear
More will come to fill this hole
That's in my heart for each lost soul
But you my friend, the memories stay
Until my life meets its last day.
