Sweet Melody
 A sweet melody I heard today,
The sound of puppies so hard at play.
So happy are they not a care in the world
As they wrestle and romp, pull tails that are curled.
Noisy, like children, with their yaps and their howls.
They pounce and bounce, even try vicious growls.
Such innocence possessed by these bundles of energy
Will stay through their lives as they trust so many.
It won't be long till they'll have new homes
With prayers they are loved, not left to roam.
With care they'll grow to be perfect companions,
Loving pets and even some become champions.
A champion on paper is but just a title
But a champion of hearts is much more vital.
Inside each fur ball out there rolling around
Is a heart full of love nowhere else can be found.
To be cherished by a human is what we hope to see,
A good life you give them is our only plea.
When you come shopping to look at these pups,
Look past their cuteness and see them grown up.
I'll be looking at you with most critical eyes,
To send a pup to harm would be my demise!
A puppy so cute and has such cute ways
But as they grow you'll have many hair-pulling days!
Will you have patience and guide them to see
The wonderful dog I know they can be?
A sweet melody I'm hearing today
With all these pups so hard at play.
I pray for the guidance for good homes somehow,
To be spared the nightmares of pitiful howls.
When buying a pup use your heart and your mind!
