Domestic animals? Firewood? Garage? Storage? A chicken coop? Out of breath Breathe deep before you sleep Wake up and live The day is before us This day is all we have Tomorrow is not promised. Give thanks and praise to our Earth Mother She supports life and death if you believe Your life after death is on you! Believe and you’ll be where you want to be I am a believer, I believe in you, And human nature that’s love at its purest form. What a shelter means to this chick, is a safe place. A place that has a bed or a mat for someone in need. A daily shower. A daily meal. Daily compassion and empathy from its staff. A place of rest, nutrition, and personal hygiene for my service animal and self. For now, a shelter is our home. Stolen Dreams by Daniel Cox I stole this pen to write this poem, it was the crime of the year.
