Dedicated To Rescuers - Once I was a lonely cat, Just looking for a home. I had no place to go. No one to call my own. I wandered up and down the streets, in rain, in heat and snow. Ate whatever I could find. I was always on the go. My skin would itch, my feet were sore, my body ached with pain. And no one stopped to give a pat or to gently say my name. I never saw a loving glance. I was always on the run. For people thought that hurting me was really lots of fun. And then one day I heard a voice ~ so gentle, kind and sweet, And arms so soft reached down to me and took me off my feet. No one again will hurt you was whispered in my ear. Youll have a home to call your own where you will know no fear. You will be dry, you will be warm, and youll have enough to eat. And rest assured that when you sleep, your dreams will all be sweet. I was afraid I must admit, Ive lived so long in fear. I cant remember when I let a human come so near. And as she tended to my wounds and bathed and brushed my fur, She told me about the rescue group And what it meant to her. She said, We are a circle, A line that never ends. And in the center, there is you protected by new friends. And all around you are the ones that check the pounds, And those that share their home after youve been found. And all the other folk are searching near and far. To find the perfect home for you, where you can be a star. She said, There is a family, thats waiting patiently. And pretty soon well find them, just you wait and see. And then theyll join our circle theyll help to make it grow, so therell be room for more like you, who have no place to go. I waited very patiently. The days they came and went. Todays the day I thought, my family will be sent. Then just when I began to think it wasnt meant to be, there were people standing there just gazing down at me. I knew them in a heartbeat. I could tell they felt it too. They said, We have been waiting for a special cat like you. Now every night I say a prayer to all the gods that be. Thank you for the life I live and all youve given me. But most of all protect the cats (and dogs) in the pound and on the street. And send a rescue person to lift them off their feet. Arlene Pace
