To My Rescue Dog...........

There's no need to flinch when I raise my hand No need to cower each time I stand No need to run when I come near No need to tremble- I see your fear You can sleep with both eyes shut, Don't need to jump when you wake up. Your food is yours to eat in peace No need to fight to keep your feast You don't have to lie upon a hard floor The beds and sofas are yours to explore Don't need to sit out in the rain The house is your shelter, your new domain. I can not erase the memories and fears I can't compensate for the wasted years All I have is what you see But I give it all and I give you me. I give you these arms to comfort and hold I give you this voice for the joys you'll be told I give you my heart and abundance of love I give you my soul and I hope it's enough
