Being A Pet

Shepherd For Christmas

Every year I wish

I could be home for Christmas

 

This will be a full dozen for me

Time spent apart from my

Family for Christmas

While being a pet shepherd

For people who are away

For the holidays

 

It will be my first Christmas

To spend completely alone

I fully accept my obligations

And feel blessed to have

A warm home to keep

My own dogs in

 

My only wish would be to see

My own family for the holidays

I don't need any presents

Their smiling faces and

Warm hugs would be

More than enough

For me

 

But for now

I must help other people care

For their pets, so they will enjoy

Their time spending the holidays

With their own families

It's the job God's given me

To do this year too

 

Maybe, next year will be very different for me

I have a strong feeling he has other plans for me

Changes could be coming very soon

 

But for now, I won't be home for the holidays again

I'll be alone instead, feeding Christmas dinner to my

Furry friends with four paws and happy tails

 

It's the pet shepherd job

That God has blessed me

With this year

 

 

 

Author's Note

I wrote this last year. My life was all about taking care of people's pets. But what I really wished was to be home for Christmas. Now I have my chance.

This poem is rich in emotion. It's perfect for anyone who has ever felt homesick. It just felt like a wonderful epilogue. It reminds me of a romantic holiday love story.

I love this picture. They are trying so hard to please. You can see it in their little faces. Dogs are precious!
