I
Did not
Know
I could
Be
This happy

Until you
Peeked upon me
My world
From behind
This metal cage
With limited company
Scary loneliness
And a non caring human
Was what I had

You smiled
So weird
You whispered
And talked
With a warm
Caring
Voice

You
Opened the door
And said
I could come out

You
Touched my head
And I Did not
Understand
This new feeling

So I
Crouched
Ears down
Body pressed to
The bottom of this
Stinking cage

So scary
But

I
Decided
To listen

Walking
On the stone floor
In this house
Much more interesting
I felt
Love

You did not
Chase me
Did not
Reprimand
Did not say
Anything
Only
Looked
At me
The short time
I was out

You gave me
Hope
And now
Still in this cage
I will
Never
Forget
Your sweet
Kindness
