giving thanks
I am thankful for every pup
that crossed the threshold of this door
and into my heart
I am thankful
for the trust
that allowed me into theirs
I am thankful
their capable teaching
has taught me to trust
I am thankful
that not one cowers, paces, barks or cries
as some did that first day
I am thankful
for foster parents
ready to share this adventure worth daring
I am thankful
though some days we may feel weary
there is no quit in us
I am thankful
for adoptive families
that take humble beginnings and forge unbreakable bonds
I am thankful
when pups bury their heads deep in caring arms
it isΒ Β borne of love and not fear
