-Some Rescue Attempts Sadly Take Forever-
“Let me tell you this:
If you meet a loner,
It’s not because they enjoy solitude.
It’s because they have tried
To blend into the world before,
And people continue to disappoint them.”
Jodi Picoult
Music: Needing A Friend
A police officer told me about her
She’s been living on the tracks a year
I watch her, trudging through the snow
For all of these lonely souls, I shed a tear
Some say that her owner had a car accident
Transported to a hospital, she was left behind
Other people say, she was abandoned out here
By her own family, in our world so cruel and unkind
I now come out here, to visit with her, every morning
She keeps her distance, as I gaze into her sad eyes
I have already attempted to trap her, several times
She is still too wary to enter it, but I continue to try
She already recognizes my truck, whenever I now arrive
She watches me, as I place some food in a plastic tray
She starts running towards me, then very abruptly stops
I sadly realize, that any renewed trust, won’t occur today
So I get back into my truck, and I drive away from the food
She then rushes to it, grabs a morsel, and eats it in the field
As I now watch her racing back and forth, so sad and lonely
Her plight, like the plight of every street orphan, sickens me
“Let me tell you this:
If you meet a loner,
It’s not because they enjoy solitude.
It’s because they have tried
To blend into the world before,
And people continue to disappoint them.”
