Here I Am Poem by Candi Lynn

Here I am in a home that I never knew
But I know in this home, I am never blue.

In this home, I am love and cared about
I am never pushed away or ever left out.

Here I am getting all the love I never had
So after all those loveless years, this is not so bad.

For in this home, my foster mom certainly does care
And shows me more than my owners ever did dare.

Here I am getting food, getting lots of love
One thing I never knew existed than from up above.

It may have taken lots of time to get me this far
From once I was dropped off from my owner's car.

But now in my senior years I am a happy dog
Going out everyday for my daily jog.

Here I am, I may be old and I have seen alot
But now I experience to have my favorite spot

I will move on from my home that I know now
But in my mind I will never forget how

How my foster mom showed me so much more
And certainly I will not forget that from what I knew before

So here I am happily living my senior years
It may have taken so long, but I hold it dear.

Please remember senior dogs have alot to give
So keep us in mind to show you how we like to live.

For we will give you all we have and even more
So here I am, waiting for you, for me to adore.

And to my foster mom, thank you for everything
For without you, I'd have no song to sing.
