A Day And A Night

A day and a night in a strange place.
Where am I? Who are these people?
It's amazing how different everything is,
But I'm terrified... Where is my family?

These people aren't so bad,
But I wish I had my family back.
These humans say it's a pound.
Why wasn't I wanted?

There are so many other animals here.
Did their families not want them either?
Wait - who are those people?
They are taking him away!

Apparently, the people taking us away are good.
They want us - to love us and give us a home.
They promise not to leave us again,
But can we believe them?

I see people come in day in and day out
To take another friend and leave me alone.
I don't know what I did, but I wish I was wanted.
Does anyone want me?

A kid came in today and kept poking his fingers at me.
He was sweet and seemed to understand my lack of trust.
Is he going to take me? He went and got the older people...
I think they are going to take me home!

A day and a night in a strange place.
Why did they want me? Why am I special now?
Everything is so different, but something in particular.
For once in my life, I feel loved..
