RESCUED HEARTS

Taking care of Rescued animals
is something I do best.
I know because I've done it,
and I've surely passed the test.

The animals I've bathed,
the food I have fed,
The vacuuming I've done,
And all to watch a frightened soul,
Sit dreaming in the sun.

My own pets I've neglected,
But I tell them every day,
That I love and cherish each of them
Though a new one's come to stay.

I know they understand this,
For in their eyes I see
The 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 an animal
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!
