Little Charlie

I had my newsletter from Lilford Aniimal welfare and was deeply touched by this story of a little heeler who was in a road traffic accident and suffered terrible facial injuries leaving him blind all appeals have drawn a blank to find the owners he is a happy dog despite his injuries.
This poem was written for him .
I assume by the foster Mum
I cannot see you Mum and Dad when you cuddle me so near
And yet I know you love me, it’s in the words I hear
I cannot see you Dad when you hold me by your side
But still I know you love me when you tell me so with pride
I cannot see to run and play out in the sun so bright
For here inside my soft furred head its always dark as night
I cannot see the treat you give when I am extra good
But I can wag my tail in thanks just like a good dog should
He Cannot see, the dogs no good is what some folks may say
He cant be trained, he will never learn he must be put away.
But not you Mum and dad, you know that it’s alright
Because I l ove you just as much as any dog with sight.
You took me in, you gave me love and we will never part.
Maybe I am blind within my eyes But I see you in my Heart
