I am sorry, I do not mean to be a bother,
but I cannot take care of myself.
I rely solely on your willingness to care for me.
I have been shunned by many and know not why
I mean no harm, yet I have suffered harm
at the hands of those I depended upon.
My needs are simple, my desires too
I hope to be treated with regard, respect
and I yearn to be loved.
When you look at me
Please see me for who I am
Please be one I can reach out to.
I yearn for a world that cherishes me
For a special someone to hold me close
Safe and secure, that will bless me with their love
For I am willing to give all of mine.
VOLUNTEERING
That there could be a volunteer for every animal in need. Volunteering in animal rescue is relentless work. The need always exceeds the resources. Wading in where others fear to go lest their hearts be broken, knowing full well yours will. But seeing through your pain to their gain, bringing hope and opportunity where there was none. To make better their lives because your efforts can. I wish there was a volunteer for every animal in need.
