Like a Faithful Lassie - a Poem for The Sunday Muse


     The Carrier 

Like the carrier of Cinderella's shoe 
She hoped and hoped to find its wearer 
Always cheerful and patient expecting 
Expecting to find and see a miracle 
Thanking God and thanking man and she waits 

She'll help with your dirty stuff and the hard 
Willing but hardly able for some 
Carry the groceries home take nary a bite 
Wonder, worry, for the owner of the shoe 
Carries always the shoe in her hands and heart 

She's the one I married and now you'll know 
Know why I love her so, ever, forever

I'm imagining a dog arousing curiosity and then leading the speaker directly to his true love. A cheery take on the image!

I love this poem, Jim. When I read it from a dog's point of view, it is very touching, that it would carry the shoe hoping to find its wearer. Love it at the end when it is Mrs Jim you are grateful for. Smiles. So sweet.
