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! By Kathleen Parsons
