My job is to assist God's
creatures I was born with the drive to fulfill
their needs I take in helpless, unwanted, homeless
creatures without planning 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 too many times to count
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 Some may think we are 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 mankind We are a quiet but determined army And we are making a difference ever 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
By the love of those who I've been
privileged to rescue, I have been rescued I know what true unconditional love really
is for I've seen it shining in the eyes of so
many Grateful for so little.
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
