My Four-Legged Hearts

A poem

Dogs, family
Mystique (mom), Spirit (dad), and Castiel (puppy)

There was a time my clothes were clean
And I had more hair on my head than my chair.
I only did whatever I wanted
And slept in without any cares.

There was a blue-eyed black lab
Abandoned and alone
Living on rodents in the woods
Walking skin and bones
