Down the street
In a retreat
A little puppy lives
Born in winter
His mother, sister & brother
Killed by a hunter
Puppy now all alone
Has no one to take care
Has no one to share
Always remember his mother
Sisters and brothers
With the eyes full of tears
A cute little puppy
Scared of everyone
This morning, he feels hungry
But have no mother’s milk
Last night,
Someone threw a piece of bread
Little puppy quietly approached
Tried eating that piece of bread
It was hard to chew & swallow
Did not go in the throat below
Hey! God, he said,
Send my mother to feed me
I am hungry
Never imagined the life
Without my mother
Sister and brother
Next corner of the street
Curdling milk lying
A little cute puppy licked something
Sour but better than nothing
Hunger went away
A little cute puppy
Sat down behind the wall
Get into a thought
What my destiny is?
Then a strange sound came
Little puppy saw a man
Scared a bit
A man lifted the little puppy
Kissed him
Caress him gently
Little puppy feels the lap of his mother
This angel took the puppy
Now at home
Little puppy is very happy
Have everything
To play and jump on anything
Lot of milk to have
Someone to take care
Someone to share
This angel is not my mother
But not less than my mother
Thank God for this destiny
Said little cute puppy with tears
Tears of happiness and happiness
Thanks, thanks again…
