You’ve Got a Son…

So said the doctor to me that day,

Well not exactly just that way,

He told me the adoption went through,

All I had to do, for a short time, was to sit and stay…

I heard them talk to my son as they brought him out,

You have a daddy; yes he is here right now, with your mommy too,

They have a nice house, a yard to play in,

Of course you will be the only one, just you…

Oh my goodness, he is just a year and walking already,

Kisses his new mom, gives me the cold shoulder,

They say he had a bad start; his first dad was mean in part,

Possibly beating him, putting men off his friendship list,

He will get better as he does get a bit older…

I could not have expected anymore,

50 pounds he weighed in at that day,

40 pounds of hair, 10 pounds of Rufuz,

Yes all this is about a dog, but more than a dog, a son,

Or as close to one that I would ever have, what more can I say…?
