and Ten-ten-ten, May 1, 2012, Lagro, QC
It was a quiet afternoon and guess who
was knocking at the gate?
A starving dog, a mongrel, and what is
there in him to gain?
Could you spare me a morsel? His eyes
moist and sad, begging,
And food we gave, closed the gate,
everything was quiet again.
The sun was setting down. We saw a shadow seeping through the gate,
He is still there, I told the
children, and he was knocking again,
Could you spare me a place for the
night? His moaning told us so,
Who are you, who is your master?
Silence. I felt a little pain.
We took him in. It was a special date on the calendar that
comes
But once, and never again, not in a
lifetime or generation.
Tenth day, of the tenth month, of the
first decade of the millennium
And we named this lost dog, Ten-ten-ten. What a celebration!
Home he found and a happy company with us and the
neighborhood,
Call his name, you wish luck and fortune, how easy to
remember!
And children tired from school come knocking to play with
their friend,
Can we play with Ten-ten(-ten)?
Heaven
sent a dog to love and share. ~
