hey everybody! i had to write a poem for my communication class about something "emotionally important" to me, so naturally i wrote about butler and i wanted to share it with all of you :) i miss you guys. sorry i've been MIA, but i just have a lot of stuff going on in my life and haven't been able to get on much.


An Ode to Butler

I was told that you needed a home,
Youā€™d been walking the streets unloved and alone.

For three long months you waited in your cage,
ā€œWhen will I be chosen?ā€ wasnā€™t something you could gage.

The shelter said that you were wild; training needed to be done,
But once I saw your wrinkled face I knew you were the one.

I could tell that you were abused by humans in the past,
But pain, neglect, and suffering Iā€™d help you forget fast.

It took some time for you, my dear, to trust and understand,
That I am your forever home and will show you love firsthand.

More than just a simple pet, you are a gift to me,
Youā€™ve unveiled a side of me I thought Iā€™d never see.

I didnā€™t think Iā€™d love or care for something other than myself,
But youā€™ve shown this jaded human how to put that on the shelf.

So thank you to my rescue dog,
Youā€™ve meant so much you see,
Because through our companionship, youā€™ve also rescued me.
