“Until one has loved an animal,
A part of one's soul remains unawakened.”
Anatole France
There she stood, in the morning mist
Another abandoned orphan, in an alley
Starving, shivering, sad, and so all alone
Yet another victim, of today’s inhumanity
Two of my neighbors spotted her standing there
They took pity on her, bringing her in from the mist
They wrapped her in a blanket, and gave her some food
They wondered how long she had been out there, like this
And soon, they called me on the telephone, asking me what to do
I told them to take her to an animal hospital, to be scanned for a chip
She had none, and she wore no collar, tags, or any information about her
She was matted, dirty, and so forlorn, devoid of all her former canine bliss
They also soon sadly discovered that all four of her paws were bloody and torn
As if she had been searching for new guardians, as if she had traveled a long way
I was overjoyed when my neighbors called to tell me they have named her ‘Misty’
They’ve now decided to keep her, and to give her the love that she deserves today
Until one has loved an animal,
A part of one's soul remains unawakened.
There are now thousands of homeless animals,
Just like Misty, on our streets and in our shelters,
All waiting and hoping, for someone to love them.
