Mother’s heart

She was out there alone
Dawn was yet to come
The stars were sparkling
A sickle moon shining.

Her bag was on her back
In which she stuffed
All the disposed things
From all the garbage bins.

She reached the first one
Was about to start her work
When she heard a growling
And a baby’s whimper.

Quickly she went to the dog
She saw it was sitting there
With a fierce look in her eyes
Five cubs were sucking milk.

Four had four legs
One had two, it was a baby girl
The dog wagged her tail at her
Allowed her to pick up the baby.

She patted her, gave her the biscuit
Which she has bought for her own
And started back for home thinking
One mother deserts, another saves.
