 Rescue Poem.
I wanted to repost this here on YT. It's reprinted from a rescue group I belong to and I thought I'd share it with those involved with foster and rescue. Elaine
There I sat, alone and afraid,
> You got a call and came right to my aid.
>
> You bundled me up with blankets and love.
> And, when I needed it most, you gave me a hug.
>
> I learned that the world was not all that scary and cold.
> That sometimes there is someone to have and to hold.
>
> You taught me what love is, you helped me to mend.
> You loved me and healed me and became my first friend.
>
> And just when I thought you'd done all you do,
> There came along not one new lesson, but two.
>
> First you said, "Sweetheart, you're ready to go.
> I've done all I can, and you've learned all I know."
>
> Then you bundled me up with a blanket and kiss.
> Along came a new family, they even have kids!
>
> They took me to their home, forever to stay.
> At first I thought you sent me away.
>
> Then that second lesson became perfectly clear.
> No matter how far, you will always be near.
>
> And so, Foster Mom, you know I've moved on.
> I have a new home, with toys and a lawn.
>
> But I'll never forget what I learned that first day.
> You never really give your fosters away.
>
> You gave me these thoughts to remember you by.
> We may never meet again, and now I know why.
>
> You'll remember I lived with you for a time.
> I may not be yours, but you'll always be mine.
