    An animal rescuer

    I AM AN ANIMAL RESCUER


    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 makes 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 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

    (I have to apologize, I don't know the author or where I found this. But it is touching IMO and thought of Gary aka catmandu
    God Bless,
    Lori Be...)

    Yes, there are so many past, present and, hopefully, future. This is wonderful, thank you.

    My darn eyes are leaking again. I never met EBT, or got to pet or talk to him, but I loved him from afar I hope he knows that.
