I wish someone would tell me - 10/06/04 03:38 PM

I wish someone would tell me
what it is I’ve done wrong,
why my mom put me in this cage
and left me here so long?

She said we would be the best of friends
and would go everywhere
but now I am in this cage alone
and she doesn’t seem to care.

I admit I was crabby
and nipped a little too.
But if you were in a whole new place
and you got scared, what would you do?

My auntie said to get me a mate
that maybe I’d calm down
but mom decided it was to late
and drove me into town.

She took me to this little shop
where lots of animals lived.
She told the man to take me
for what ever he would give.

And she turned around and left.

She didn’t say goodbye,
she didn’t shed a tear,
my little heart was breaking
but the sound she did not hear.

The man did not know me
or what I liked to eat.
He gave me nothing but hard dried food
and little bits of seeds.

He didn’t know I liked the dark
and that I slept most through the day.
He let the people wake me
and when I’d crab he’d say,
I was a mean little booger. No one would ever want me because I would never love.

Not true I screamed but my voice was never heard.

Then one day in came an angel. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frostyangel.gif" alt="" />
She scooped me up and held me close
and said were going home.
I crabbed at her and even tried to bite
but she only held me closer and said it was alright.

So home with her I went,
not like I had a choice
and there my heart did soar
when I beheld the site.

My new home was a mansion
filled with all kinds of wonderous things.
I had all the yummy stuff to eat
that I had ever dreamed.

She put me in a nice fleece bag
and held me near her heart.
That is when my love did swell,
I had a brand new start.

ty. Angie, I would be honored. I dreamed that last night and got up at 4 am and had to write it. Strange things always come to me when I sleep.

That was so special. I have my babies in the pouch right now, and it just made me hold them close <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" />. Thank you for sharing that with us.

That was an awesome poem! It makes you think twice about giving up on bonding with your gliders. It also brings to light the gliders point of view! Very insperational! Thank you for sharing! Oh, maybee there is a reason that you dreamed this poem! Perhaps it was meant to be pute on a rescue site or something similar!
