RESCUED HEARTS
Taking care of rescue dogs
is something I do best.
I know because I've done it,
and I've surely passed the test.
The dogs I've bathed, the food
I've fed, the vacuuming I've
done.
And all to watch a frightened
soul sit dreaming
in the sun.
My own dogs I've neglected,
but I tell them everyday.
That I love and cherish each of
them, though a new dog'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 a dog
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.
~Kathleen Parsons

Tail tucked between your legs,
Confusion in your eyes-
I know it's hard to understand
That Someone heard your cries.
When loneliness is all you know
and pain is all you feel-
And no one can be trusted,
And hunger's all too real.
That's the time the Lord sees you
And lets you know He's there.
That's when He sends His messengers-
The hearts that love and care.
Yes, rescuers are angels-
You cannot see their wings,
They keep them neatly folded
As they do their caring things.
The medicine to make you well
Good food to make you strong,
And finally to help you learn,
That hugs are never wrong.
The perfect place then must be found-
The home where you can live
Secure and safe and happy-
With joy to get and give.
When you reach your Forever Home,
Your place to feel whole,
The Angels smile, and off they go-
To save another soul
