An Animal So Special
The Animals They own are so special.
So special
they are never left to be lonely.
So special
to not have to defend themselves at all.
So special
to not be left out on a night so rainy.
So special
that when hurt they must be taken to the doctor .
So special to be touched and loved.
So special they must not be too hot or too cold we are told.
Sooooooo,
if the animals are so special why aren't I?
Why wasn't I.........
never left lonely
defended
kept dry from the storms
taken to the doctors
touched and loved
shown the warmth of heart
and the coolness of peace
Just maybe,
We hold animals in such a high place
because They truly are in a higher place than Us after all.
Just maybe,
My selfishness and attention seeking I should face.
Just maybe,
it isn't Me, but the animal Who Is So Special.
