unknown shelter

by Michelle Lachut
(Holly, MI)

what I have
of what I ought
Nought I believe
unto compare
that I conceive
that I would dare
say soul prayer please
in sole warn shoes
on tattered knees
to whosoever
answers, please
not who you like
or what you choose
Oh, cast aside
what I'll use
what I Love
Is what you lose
Had a great day
I'm under the weather
I'll make a blanket
of your tail feather
sleep in the hay
eat your scraps all day
be so much better
because we're together
of why I don't
but what I know
You are my shelter
I need you so
