<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="4">I perused the ads for
reasons unknown</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="4">When I came upon a senior
in need of a home.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="4">Back and forth I went
fighting reason with heart,</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="4">Another hound, a senior,
now is that smart?</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="4">Reason be still, my heart
it did shout.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="4">I was led to this girl of
that there's no doubt.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="4">My home is enough for one
more to share</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="4">Time for this gal to know
that I care.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="4">So dirty and lonely she
had nothing to lose</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="4">In the name of money, her
little body abused.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="4">I looked her eyes, saw the
depth of despair,</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="4">Of living a life with no
love and no care.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="4">I opened my heart, felt it
fill with love</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="4">I knew that my Nelly was
sent from above.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="4">Though she may older and a
little bit gray</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="4">Our love for each other
grows with each passing day.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="4">Open your heart, your home
and please care,</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="4">Your Nelly is waiting
somewhere out there.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="4">Its a choice you can make, one you'll never regret.<br>A love that's so deep, love you'll never forget.</font></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="4"><br></font></p>
