Rescued Hearts ~ Kathleen Parsons ~Taking care of rescue dogs Is something I do best.I know because I've done it, And I've surely passed the test.The dogs I've bathed, the food I've fed, The vacuuming I've done,And all to watch a frightened soul Sit dreaming in the sun.
My own dogs I've neglected, But I tell them everydayThat I love and cherish each of them Though a new dog's come to stay.I know they understand this, For in their eyes I seeThe love that I have given them Come shining back at me.
Some people think I'm crazy, Some others think I'm great.But very few can understand What really is at stake.If I can love and help a dog To find a better way,My own life is much richer, I look forward to each day.
So now you know my secret, It's there for all to see,The love I give, the life I save, I do it all for me.The Reason (to you from all your rescue dogs) I would've died that day if not for you. I would've given up on life if not for your kind eyes. I would've used my teeth in fear if not for your gentle hands. I would have left this life believing that all humans don't care Believing there is no such thing as fur that isn't matted skin that isn't flea bitten good food and enough of it beds to sleep on someone to love me to show me I deserve love just because I exist. Your kind eyes, your loving smile, your gentle hands Your big heart saved me... You saved me from the terror of the pound, Soothing away the memories of my old life. You have taught me what it means to be loved. I have seen you do the same for other dogs like me. I have heard you ask yourself in times of despair Why you do it When there is no more money, no more room, no more homes You open your heart a little bigger, stretch the money a little tighter Make just a little more room...to save one more like me. I tell you with the gratitude and love that shines in my eyes In the best way I know how Reminding you why you go on trying. I am the reason The dogs before me are the reason As are the ones who come after. Our lives would've been wasted, our love never given We would die if not for you | Needy Pugs ~ Eric Healy ~ North, South, East, West, Up, Down, Left, Right. There is a pug out there somewhere, Desperately in need of a safe nest. Unsafe home cause major damage, To pugs that of any color, To pugs of any age, If there aren't any physical sores, There is definitely mental pain. Who would do this, Commit such a deed, To put a poor pug, In such need. This sort of abuse is considered a crime, And there certainly is one thing for sure, One thing for certain, Nothing like this better not occur, To the pug that I call mine. I Am An Animal Rescuer ~ Annette King Tucker ~ My job is to assist God's creatures I was born with the need to fulfill their needs I take in new family members without plan, thought or selection I have bought dog food with my last dime I have patted a mangy head with a bare hand I have hugged someone vicious and afraid I have fallen in love a thousand times and I have cried into the fur of a lifeless body I have Animal Friends and friends who have Animal Friends I don't often use the word "pet" I notice those lost at the road side And my heart aches I will hand raise a field mouse And make friends with a vulture I know of no creature unworthy of my time I want to live forever if there aren't animals in Heaven But I believe there are! Why would God make something so perfect and leave it behind? We may be master of the animals, But the animals have mastered themselves Something people still haven't learned War and abuse make me hurt for the world But a rescue that makes the news gives me hope for humankind We are a quiet but determined army And making a difference every day There is nothing more necessary than warming an orphan Nothing more rewarding than saving a life No higher recognition than watching them thrive There is no greater joy than seeing a baby play who only days ago, was too weak to eat I am an Animal Rescuer My work is never done My home is never quiet My wallet is always empty But my heart is always full In the game of life, I have already won! |
