Natural relation

I had a soft corner for animals
and loved them as an individual
they are loved by all the people
so is the gesture by the animals

I had loved dogs,
not as pets
but as the helpless creatures
and not at all sure of the existence

my animal love grew many folds
as my mother told
the baby dog had followed me up to the railway station
when I was about to board the rain after vacation

I was feeling her with the milk daily
I saw the gratefulness in her eyes really
what were they expecting from human beings?
only love, faithfulness, and kindness

when I came to know about her tragic end
I was compelled to send myfeelings
since then, I have made it rule
wherever I go or remain, it should be the daily routine

even today, I feed the street dogs
both times they come to me and sing a song
a song of gratefulness with satisfaction
I believe this as a natural relation
