Rescue Poem


Recommended Posts

Jo-Anne

Today I found this poem on the net. This is for all of you people who decide to take one into your loving homes and giving them a good live after sadness. I have seen here on Chatter many people do. Sophie`s haven was so kind to let me tell a little story about her Lucy on the Dutch board, also for her.

Rescue Poem The Reason

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.
A warm bed to sleep on, a couch to stretch out on,
A deep, soft pad just for me by your chair,
Your loving, quiet voice to gentle the nightmares away.
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 do I 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 were the reason
As are the ones who will come after.
Our lives would've been wasted, our love never given;
We would die if not for you.

OMG!! The screen on my computer is splattered with tears. As I was reading this I could picture 5 of my paws having the same thoughts. All of my guys will get extra HUGS today.......thanks for posting this. Maybe this will touch a few hearts that when they are ready to add a pet to the family be it the first or the second they will consider a RESCUE. They need loving arms and a warm heart to let them know that life can be GOOD!! :puppy::puppy::puppy::puppy::puppy::puppy::puppy: My crew Thanks You for posting this!!!
