Opportunities
Blizzard's cold, the day grows old,
Dark shapes howling late at night.
The gray wolf-dog laying under his rug,
Wishing life would treat him better,
Friends sleeping soundly nearby.
They keep his spirits high,
And his life goes on.
He goes to town to see the dog,
Who brings out the best in him. He feels safe with her.
She seems to like him but is also unsure,
His reputation is not as pure as his heart of gold.
If only she knew who he was inside.
He speaks softly, gentle words not meant to scare.
But there she cries, he knows not why.
He moves closer, pondering her sadness.
She does not know what is wrong with her girl, the one she loves.
Heartbroken he takes her inside,
This secret is not one meant to hide. What is wrong?
Her girl is very sick, and there is no help,
Unless...
A faint chance of hope is there. The
humans know.
600 miles away there is a town,
With medicine, but it is a dangerous trip.
The dogs don't care, they are fierce and brave,
But once again there is his difference,
Although he is the best, he still loses.
From his home he watches.
The dogs leave town, and seem to jeer at him from far away.
They know where he lives.
He gives one last determined look,
Then hangs his head, it is no use.
Sadly, he looks on, as the sled rides out of sight.
He should have been there!
