I wrote this a few minutes ago.. I thought I would share for all of you considering getting a new furbaby... I want one, so deeply, especially after writing this... I know I can't have one right now, but one day... For those of you that can.... don't wait... as soon as you feel your heart is ready and your home is open, please... go save a life.. they give us so much and ask so little in return... What's even sadder to me is that I didn't realize all he gave to me until he was gone. And now as I try to live without him I am empty and alone. But even still, glad I had him. Glad I've experienced all this love and unconditional care. He was my teacher... I was his student... he only let me believe it was the other way around wub.gif

Straight From the Hands Above

Like angels from the heavens
They come to me and you
With fluffy tails and 4 little paws
And hearts that are so true

They love us from the beginning
They look to us for their care
And anytime that things aren’t alright
You’ll always find them there

For they are special treasures
Sweet little souls full of love
Unconditional and so healing
A love straight from the hands above

They follow us through our lives
Sharing smiles, laughter, and tears
Deep in the heart of the blackest nights
To them we share all our many fears

We raise them like our children
We teach them how to be
But really they are the teachers
Getting humans to sometimes see

That love should have no price
Forgiveness has no key
All of the most important things
Are always completely free

A kiss can heal all wounds
And laughter should always be shared
And life was so much better that day
Because that little one showed he cared

And how our hearts break when we lose them
Sorrows vibrations do return
For the heart never completely heals
And for them it forever yearns

For those special little furry ones
With nothing to give us but love
Are precious, special gifts to us
Straight from the hands above

Hi Jenn,
You have such a way with words when you write your poems. That was just beautiful! Every word is true, and as soon as I can, I'll be bringing home a new baby to love, I wish you could too.
You should consider putting together a collection of the poetry that you have written for Freeway, and other furbabies, and try to get it published. There are so many animal lovers in this world that would appreciate such a book. I know I'd buy it, even though you have shared them for free. wink.gif
I hope you're doing well, and know I'm thinking of you.
Love and Prayers,
Michelle

Dear Jenn,
What a beautiful poem. You have such an ability to express what the rest of us feel, but can't quite put into words.
