Song Title:"If I Could Heal The World"
Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor
peering apprehensively into the kennels.
I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.
I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly,
so she wouldn't be afraid.

As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a
little accident I had in the back of my cage.
I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today.
Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and
I didn't want her to think poorly of them.
As she read my kennel card I hoped that
she wouldn't feel sad about my past.
I only have the future to look forward
to and want to make a difference in someone's life.
She got down on her knees
and made little kissy sounds at me.
I shoved my shoulder and side of my head
up against the bars to comfort her.
Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship.
A tear fell down her cheek
and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well.
Soon my kennel door opened and her smile
was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms.
I would promise to keep her safe.
I would promise to always be by her side.
I would promise to do everything
I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes.
I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor.
So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors.
So many more to be saved. At least I could save one. I saved a human today.

Heartbreak and lonliness is every where,
for humans and animals.
If you can't have a pet or already have one,
maybe you could volunteer to help them in some way.
There are many animal shelters loaded with dogs and cats.
Check your newspaper, local SPCA, or on-line search.
They are waiting to rescue you.
