(After Mary Oliver)<\/p>\n
Why can’t all dogs be saved ?
\nWhy can’t all dogs be happy?
\nWhy can’t all dogs be loved?<\/p>\n
This dog I mean is happy and loved,<\/p>\n
Who is now scorching her self by the fire,
\nWho is sleeping whimpering in her dreams,<\/p>\n
Now she wakes up and looks at me,
\nNow she is staring at me with big brown eyes,
\nNow her soft face is begging me for a pat.<\/p>\n
I don’t know how she copes all day without us as she loves company,
\nI do know how she paces the room waiting for us to return,<\/p>\n
Tell me how,
\nI wish she could come to school with me instead.<\/p>\n
