Rescue Angels

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.

This is a beautiful poem! Thank you so much for posting it. It touched my heart and I got teary-eyed. There are so many waiting to be rescued...to feel like someone cares...

Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful poem which I will be forwarding and sharing on FB with friends and rescues all over. The last part is the best and what makes me tear up.

Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful poem! It made me teary eyed too. I hope a lot of pets will be rescued soon and will be brought to families that will take care of them.
