Thor's Day

“The dog is the only being

That has actually seen his god.”

 

Author Unknown

 

 

Music: Thunder Road

 

In the ancient legendary Norse Mythology stories

Thor was the god of lightning, who protected man

Recently, I received a telephone call about a lost dog

His name was Thor, and his plight was far from grand

 

He had become lost in a storm filled with thunder and lightning

He had been wandering the wet woodland, for many long days

He had been hungry and thirsty, and now terrified of everyone

I happened to come across him, this last Thor’s Day (Thursday)

 

Several of us had been out searching the deep dark wood for him

All of us hoping to locate this frightened, lost canine, named Thor

I was fortunate enough to discover some fresh, muddy, paw prints

Since another thunderstorm had pelted the woods the night before

 

I set out a dog trap and food and crouched behind some bushes

Thor approached very timidly, enticed by the trap’s food scent

I watched as he cautiously took the bait, and was safely caught

His hunger and thirst trumped his fear, his ordeal now at an end

 

Thor soon accepted a ride back to his home, in our offered transport

When he was reunited with his human god, dog Thor’s joy had no end

The reunion between the two of them, was so very marvelous to behold

A heart-warming, happy ending tale, of a lost canine and his human friend

 

And by coincidence, or perhaps fate,

When I arrived back home last Thor’s Night,

I watched the new movie, about ancient god Thor,

In which he saves man, from a most horrendous plight.

Doing this work 'one Thor at a time,' is an arduous chore but you do make progress.

Cheers to you and all the other Thor's in this world,

Another happy ending in a world where sadly all too often with the animal kingdom these days, end in sad endings.

Heartwarming poem, Ed; so glad Thor and his master were reunited! So many animals don't have that opportunity or are treated most horribly! Well done, Ed!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Texas, Karen Lynn. :D

There is no limit to your compassion, Ed,
and i only wish (i know i sound like a stuck record)
i could do more.
Thor, another triumph!
