You Didn't Know Me I would see you on my way to work I would see you on my way home You were sometimes in the yard sometimes wanting to roam I looked for you each time I passed just to watch you play although you didn't know me you became part of my day There were two of you sometimes even three laying around on hot summer days underneath that big tree Then one day I saw something and I became quite concerned The people had moved and left you It appeared they never returned But there you would stay and you seemed to wait "Oh Dear God" I thought to myself "please don't let this be their fate" Every day I would pass and looked to see if maybe you had found a new home But it appeared to me that was the only one you'd known Then one morning on my way to work there you were once again It wasn't just you, but you were with your friend You weren't lying on the porch or in the yard but in the road alongside your friend My heart sank and my blood ran cold 'Oh Dear God please don't let this be their end" Although you didn't know me My heart aches so much I will never stop crying because my soul you did touch I dedicate this poem to two dogs I saw each day and will regret forever that I never stopped to help. They had died together, and I will NEVER forget that image of them on that dark morning lying at the bottom of the driveway only a few feet apart from each other at the house they once called home. I believe someone intensionaly killed them...........I will never be the same.
