“Life is not fair,
Nor has it ever been,
But the morning seems
Determined to dawn.”
Robert Brault
It had been a difficult delivery
For Little Lupita, our latest stray
It took her four hours, to give birth
I saw both life, and death, yesterday
After a very restless and sleepless night
She began having her first pup at 5 A.M.
I had to help her severe its umbilical cord
An hour later, it was time, to deliver again
This second birth, was not as difficult
But an hour later, another baby was born
This one, never even got to greet the dawn
Our Little Lupita’s third, was sadly stillborn
I thought this third one, would be her last
But an hour later, number four now arrived
Soon, her three remaining newborn puppies
Were nursing, as I looked into Lupita’s eyes
She watched me carry away her stillborn baby
I don’t care what anyone says, animals feel, too
As I buried this infant, under the old cherry tree
I knew she and I, were now, both happy and blue
It had been a difficult delivery,
For Little Lupita, our latest stray;
It took her four hours, to give birth,
We both saw life, and death, yesterday.
But she’s already a marvelous mother,
To her truly adorable remaining three.
