Ein schönes Gedicht

Hallo liebes Forum,
das hier kam heute nacht über eine Mailinglisterein. Ich fand es so schön und treffend und wollte es gern mit Euch teilen.

LG

Before I was a Dog Mom:

I made and ate hot meals unmolested.
I had unstained, unfurred clothes.
I had quiet conversations on the phone, even if the doorbell rang.

Before I was a Dog Mom:

I slept as late as I wanted
And never worried about how late I got to bed
or if I could get into my bed.

Before I was a Dog Mom:

I cleaned my house every day.
I never tripped over toys, stuffies, chewies
Or invited the neighbor's dog over to play.

Before I was a Dog Mom:

I didn't worry if my plants, cleansers, plastic bags, toilet paper, soap or deodorant
were poisonous or dangerous.

Before I was a Dog Mom:

I had never been peed on, pooped on, drooled on, chewed on, or pinched by puppy teeth.

Before I was a Dog Mom:

I had complete control of my thoughts,
my body and mind. I slept all night without sharing the covers or pillow.

Before I was a Dog Mom:

I never looked into big, soulful eyes and cried. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop a hurt.
I never knew something so furry and four-legged could affect my heart so deeply.

Before I was a Dog Mom:

I had never held a sleeping puppy just because I couldn't put it down.
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was well. I didn't know how warm it feels inside to feed a hungry puppy. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important.

Before I was a Dog Mom:

I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being

A Dog Mom.

und wenn es denn jetzt noch auf deutsch wäre könnte auch ich es "ganz" verstehen :confused: :rolleyes:
