One Man And His Dog.
This picture opens up a whole world of questions that can be asked about the situation this man finds himself in, not to mention the caring, love, and companionship they show each other. It takes a dog to show us where humanity went wrong!
An old man was,
In town today,
With tattered shoes,
And ragged clothes,
A wispy face,
All shades of grey,
And an expression all forlorn.
He was lost in Hope,
But was never in vain,
As they all passed him by.
It broke his heart,
They hadn't a care,
For what he was doing,
And why he was there.
His heart was heavy,
His soul was sad,
To see them pass,
For they weren't like him,
And, they were glad,
That they were alright.
But even though,
He felt that way,
Was down and out,
And hungry too,
It took some strength,
And courage meek,
For a saddened man,
To love his dog.
So, lost to the world,
They live in Peace,
Are they really alone?
