I knew the world as a dark place
In my short life I had known no kind face
I didn’t yet know a soft touch
Or that a human could love so much
I dreamed of chasing the rabbits
But eating just wasn’t a habit
Behind a dumpster I lay my head
In a box where I longed to be fed
I got used to that cold rain
I got used to that deep pain
Then one day they took me away
These humans who had always betrayed
They put me in a crate where I shivered
And I longed for that box where I withered
All along she was standing beside me
Carrying my crate where I could see
We were rescued and saved
Didn’t need to be brave
For she took us all in and we healed
This warrior woman; an angel revealed
We thank you for your true heart
Your love is in fact, no small part
Why I now know what it means to be free
Because one day you rescued me
If I am meant to go on to the Rainbow
I will keep you in my heart and you should know
You’ll hear my thanks in the birds when they sing
For your love has given me wings
