Hope

Hope was so cute
She was small
She brought smiles
She had a home.
Hope was a joy

Life got busy
Hope masticated
Hope got a cage
Enthusiasm waned
There were other things to do
Hope got shuffled aside.

Brought in to deal with other problems
And she just added to the problem.

She was neglected
She was kicked
She was mistreated
She was lost
She was found
She was given away
Taken to a place where she could be with more hope
Hopefully, life was better
Hope got sick
Hope died.
