Sheba

When you have spent most days wondering whats the meaning of each day,

What else more or less could I now need to say.

When all you see and feel is what you know in life so far,

When anything in life could happen anything, even something bizarre.

I walked along, just a few metres I was far from where I came from to see,

Not just the usual, not that anything I thought didn't need my attention but that the sea.

Something there floating in the water looked heavy but wasn't fully sunk yet,

I thought that why someone can be so uncareful or so selfish to cause sealife a threat.

I stared for a while and glanced hard wondering and thinking about littering,

I was going to walk past and leave it floating away but it kept catching me to the sun glittering.

But it wasn't just that what, it caught my curiosity it was the fact why it looked heavy but not yet sunk,

I saw it moving and sometimes it would dunk.

I walked up like nothing odd is going to happen to me,

I just pictured maybe I would be retrieving the item and possibly letting a jellyfish be free.

but as I got closer, is when I realised the bag there floating was filled, I was shocked to find the saddest thing was dumped,

This finding made me feel pretty stumped.

Just a puppy in a plastic bag caught up in the plastic rings that hold cans together,

I felt the tear, the despair for this pup and I saw myself with him forever.

so, I saved the poor nearly lifeless pup and I took him,

And I'm glad I went for this walk just on a whim.

I made him feel safe and I took care of this pup

He changed my life, made me happy and this story is now being told,

up until his last days of being old.

with happiness, he spent days running along the sand of the beach.
