Whispering, why we do rescue

Basenji Rescue
  • Whispering

    I am the dog you see on the chain.
    I am the cat you see in the drain.

    I am the friend who has no home.
    I am the stray who lives all alone.

    I am the friend you helped today.
    I am the one you transported far away.

    I am the voice you hear in your head.
    I am the caged animal who often dreads.

    I am the opinion you are trying to change.
    I am the anger you feel, and the rage.

    I am the tears you cry when I am sick.
    I am the hurt you feel, but cannot fix.

    I am the voice in your head, when you cannot sleep.
    I am the reason for the long hours that you keep.

    I am the voice who desperately needs you,
    And if not you?then who?

    I am whispering
    and you are my voice.

    I sure wish I knew who wrote this.

  • How wonderful and so descriptive. I'm going to copy this one, if I may?

  • Yes, please. I just wish I knew who was talented enough to put how I feel into words.

  • Beautiful Sharron..I might borrow it too..

  • Please share it..if it opens one home to a dog in need, its done what the author intended.

    Getting the gov. involved won't do anything but hurt the legal folks. Just look at byb who go over the "legal" limit for ownership of animals in their care, or horders, who don't do even legal mandated care… Its going to take education and spay/neuter of any animal who leaves a shelter. It's going to take years...I only hope I see it in my lifetime.

    I will forward this to BRAT, but BRAT doesn't pay for dogs…if the shelter wants to release her to BRAT, I am sure they can help her. But thank you for letting me know. I will send this on asap.
