To Tazi

You’ve been with us for 5 years
And seriously eased our tears

With different color eyes and a patchy face
You looked like a pretty sad case

Never known kindness, warmth or love
Never sat on grass, chased a  ball, or saw the sky above

Locked in a cage
No room for rage

You stood there trembling with fear
Until the voice of sweetness came to your ear

Then with joy and playfulness you’ve grown
Into the sweetest dog I’ve known.
