| RESCUE ME... Rescue me not only with your hands but with your heart as well. I will respond to you. Rescue me not out of pity but out of love. I will love you back. Rescue me not with self-righteousness but with compassion. I will learn what you teach. Rescue me not because of my past but because of my future. I will relax and enjoy. Rescue me not simply to save me but to give me a new life. I will appreciate your gift. Rescue me not only with a firm hand but with tolerance and patience. I will please you. Rescue me not only because of who I am but who I'm to become. I will grow and mature. Rescue me not to revere yourself to others but because you want me. I will never let you down. Rescue me not with a hidden agenda but with a desire to teach me to trust. I will be loyal and true. Rescue me not to be chained or to fight but to be your companion. I will stand by your side. Rescue me not to replace one you've lost but to soothe your spirit. I will cherish you. Rescue me not to be your pet but to be your friend. I will give you my undying love. By: Terri Onorato |

| A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A PUPPY This morning, I woke up and kissed my dad's head. I peed on the carpet, then went back to bed. "The life of a puppy, oh my, this is great." Then I thought about breakfast, "I hope it's not late." Mom took me outside; we walked for a while. This never fails to make Mama smile. I sniffed of everything that we did pass. I ate something weird-it gave me gas. I'm sure God loves me, I know that is true.. He gave me so many great things to chew Rugs, plants or rocks, I really don't care. What I truly like best, is Dad's underwear. That obedience book was sort of yummy. Though it didn't sit well on my poor puppy tummy. I threw up a bit, but that was all right. When Mom found it later, I was well out of sight. I made streamers of T.P., while running at full speed. Mom is pretty quick-but I was still in the lead. I flew under the bed, and Mom flew past. She stopped, shook her head, and breathed,"you're too fast." Mama later phoned Daddy, and said, "It was frightening!" That afternoon, she was sure I'd pooped lightning. She'd sat at the computer, while I chewed the cord. She thought I was mad, but I was just bored! When Mama had enough, couldn't take any more, That's when my tushy got shoved out the door. I love it inside, but outside is best. I lay in the cool grass and had a good rest. That didn't last long, there was too much to do. Can't quite remember where I hid Daddy's shoe. I found an old bone and scratched at a flea. I watched the dumb squirrels as they jumped in a tree. I barked at the kids when they got off the bus. I can't figure out why this makes Mama fuss. I barked at the neighbor. I barked at the wind. I barked and barked till Mom yelled, "COME IN." The sun dipped in the west-soon Daddy would come! I sure love my daddy; we always have fun. I barked at my daddy, then turned on my charms. I woo-wooed, "Hello!" then jumped in his arms Sitting under the table-it's sooo hard to wait. Daddy slipped me a goodie right off his plate. I raced through the house and scattered my toys, Ricocheted off the furniture, and made lots of noise. Mom found her purse---the one I abused. Daddy let loose a chuckle. Mom asked, "Amused??" I cowered down low. I must be in trouble. Dad said, "Wasn't MY boy. It must be his double!" Mom turned off the TV and said, "Time for bed." Dad said, "Let's go, boy," and patted my head. I got in my spot, between Mom and Dad. I thought 'bout my day and what fun I had. Mama kicked out my bone from the covers below, Then let loose a sigh-a sigh deep and low. She gave me a kiss and snuggled me tight. And whispered so softly, "My darling, good night. - Author Unknown |
