I am much indebted to Belinda Morgan of The Hairy Project for letting me post some of her Hairy Poems here. I spotted the Sharing poem yesterday and asked Bel for permission to share it – and she gave me even more! AND some fab photos from her Hairy House.
From Bel:
I have a page set up now called The Hairy Project. The project was set up in memory of my two dogs Pollydoodles and Beckyboo that I lost to Parvovirus last Feb after taking a pup from the Pound, the Poem was written for the Pup who is now called Penny and lives with us and the rest of the gang in The Hairy House.
The aim is to hold Auctions to raise funds for struggling Rescues and TNR projects and our first Auction in Feb to mark the girls anniversary, raised €1,850 for Dog Rescue Coolronan. There will be another Auction on 16th May for two fantastic TNR projects who also deal with Rescue and Rehoming and I encourage people who can Knit, Sew, Paint or make something to donate their creations to the Auction to help raise much needed money.
For many years I have been saying “when I win the Lottery I will start an Animal Sanctuary/Rescue” but I realized that I could actually be doing something to help those who are already doing so much while I was waiting on my Dream to come true!
Thanks.

Sharing
by Belinda Morgan
Inspired by someone asking me why do I share so many sad photos and Posts, all my gang came from seeing photos on FB!
Someone shared a photo and I saw it
They may not even know they saved a life
One simple click and I was truly smitten
I wished to save this girl with all my might
So here she is today and I say Thank You
For I do not even know whose share it was
But it doesn’t really matter ’cause the point is
That your “sharing” had the power to save this dog!
Kitten Tale
by Belinda Morgan
I take all your stories with a pinch of salt
Some are disingenuous and I know it’s not your fault
You like to entertain me by keeping me amused
And I must say that it’s funny when I see you get confused
But Mammy I must tell you that I’ve been here once before
I’ve seen it all, heard stories tall of things you would deplore
I may look like a kitten but inside I am a cat
I’m wise beyond my little years you can be sure of that
I know I’ve landed on my feet in this here House of Hair
It’s good to feel the lovin’ and to know that you all care!
So off to bed we all must go, our spots we all will find
We pray that all God’s creatures will find someone to be kind …
My Teddy Bear
by Belinda Morgan
I love my little Teddy
He sleeps with me at night
I wrap my paws around him
And cuddle him so tight.
I tell him all my worries
And all my little fears
And when this world it makes me cry
He mops up all my tears.
He knows the world’s an unkind place
But says when I’m in bed
I’m not to dwell on cruelty
But lay my head instead.
He says that it’s impossible
To put the world to rights
And tomorrow is another day
When we can pick our fights.
So me & Ted will sleep now
And wish you all Goodnight
My Mam is shouting up the stairs
“Turn off that feckin’ light”
A Little Prayer
by Belinda Morgan
It’s hard to believe that a God could exist
When such cruelty, neglect and abuse still persists
Can our faith still endure when it’s tested the most
As we pray that Abusers in Hell they will Roast!
My eyes can’t take back what they’ve recently seen
I question the meaning of the words Human Being
I see so many Rescues being put to the Test
All of them strained and still doing their Best.
So tonight let us Pray in our own House of Hair
And our one Wish tonight with you all we will Share
That God will look down and will reach out his Hand
And Smite the Abusers wherever they Stand.
May all of the Creatures God made on this Earth
Tonight sleep in Peace with no Pain in their Heart
And may all of them know what it’s like to be loved
To be cared for and fed, to be kissed and be Hugged.
So Goodnight to you all from this Old House of Hair
We are counting our Blessings as we each climb a Stair
May your Dreams all be Sweet, may you all sleep in Peace
As we pray that One Day all this cruelty will Cease.
