THE CUTIE PIE


THE CUTIE PIE

It was
Cold
I saw him
Huddled
On the
Street
Corner.

I felt 
The cold
In his
Tiny body
As I
Watched him
Shivering. 

My heart
Broke.
How could
Such a
Cutie
Be
Left out
In
The cold?

It had
Started
To rain
As i 
Approached
The 
Near frozen
One.

When I 
Reached him,
Large sparkly
Eyes 
Looked up 
At me.

They were 
Pleading
An unspoken
Plea...

Of course 
I will 
Hug you
To me,
Take you
Home and
Give you
A hot
Meal.
I whispered 
Fervently.

As I drove
Off
With him
On my
Lao,
I know I'd 
Never let 
The cutie pie
Go.
He was 
Already 
My world!
