The Little Lost Puppy

He was barely even six weeks old

And they were giving him away

I begged my mom and dad to say

That I could take him home

My mom and dad had told me

That if I brought him home

That i would have to be the one

To care for him alone

So I agreed that I would be

The one who cared for him

He would have a friend in me

Someone to comfort from within

One day as the puppy grew

He was let outside to play

And when I went to let him in

I saw that he had run away

The first thing that I thought of

Was that the little pup was bad

But then I realised one thing

That he was likely very sad

We looked so hard and carefully

From morning until night

And all that I could think of

Was that little puppy's fright

After seven hours of searching

We decided to head for home

And prayed the little pup

Had found his way back on his own

When we arrived at home again

It was deep into the night

And we were greeted from the steps

By a sweet and precious sight

The little pup was sitting there

On the top step to our home

And from that very moment

He was never left alone
