Lucky
Hey Lucky, you are special
More than any of us will ever know
You love life, you fought for life, you live life
When you were stolen from your family, you never gave up
You were beaten, you were kicked, your bones were broken, you were starved and yet
You love life, you fought for life, you live life
When you were weak and starved to less than half your weight, you never gave up
When you were so weak you couldn’t stand up and your legs gone so stiff and atrophied you couldn’t even sit up, but still
You love life, you fought for life, you live life
And then, late in October, unable to move and almost dead you were carried by your abuser in a blue blanket up to over 7200 feet well off a rugged mountain trail and slid under fallen logs on 6 inches of ice and snow and left to die, yet still
You love life, you fought for life, you live life
And finally in desperation; freezing, starving, and in constant pain, you silently call out for help from your ArfAngel who watches over you to allow
You to love life, fight for life, and live life
On November first, Ryan found you and rescued you. He didn’t let you die because he saw that
You love life, you fought for life, you live life
And April, Vickie, Lora, Nancy Suro and many more all took special care because they saw you were special and that
You love life, you fought for life, you live life
Now you have a new family who love and protect you and know that
You do love life, you have fought for life, you live life.
You told them your story, and show them everyday, in every way that you love them. You saved your new master’s life and have scared off the coyote when walking with your mistress. You happily travel many miles with them and they know that
You love life, you fought for life, and you live an amazing special life.
