A quick fostering poem

Well I haven't done a poem in a while but I'm in the mood right now so have wrote this one. It's not great, I've stumbled a few times while doing it but I think it pretty much sums fostering up. People always ask me how do i do it? How could I not do it really? I love fostering, it has pretty much become my life. Yes I form bonds with these dogs but it has come to the point now that when the day comes when they go to their new homes I am so ecstatic for them, its hard to be sad. And when you get another dog to help straight away, at what point do I have to be sad for the last dog, who is now living the perfect life. Oh and note when I say people I mainly mean the rescue, and my old fosters new owners :) And their old ones for that matter. 

Also I feel I should be the one thanking WYDR, they have provided me with this amazing opportunity, they've given me my gorgeus dog Tinks, who is my whole life now and not only that, when I was really down after quitting uni I had fostering that well and truly changed my life. It's made me so happy and has given a distraction over Ems death last year. West Yorkshire Dog Rescue and fostering have well and truly being my therapy <3 


People keep thanking me for all I've done,
Yet all I think is I haven't helped enough,
What I do, I love, and I don't feel I can stop, 
So don't thank me for sharing my love.

It's getting to the point of addiction with this,
Sounds crazy doesn't it, but fostering really is, 
You get to give a dog all the love they need,
Making them change, more than what you'd believe.

And eventually it will come the leaving day, 
You can't help but having to wipe a tear away,
But seeing them smile as they leave you behind,
A look in their eyes, a thanks for saving their life.

You have to smile as you look towards the door,
Another dog waiting for you to adore,
And as they look with sad eyes upon you, 
You smile and say 'don't worry, I'll save you' 

And you see, the process begins again,
A never ending circle removing all pain,
How can I stop now and not save a life,
Dogs are far too precious to not be treated right.
