Animal rescue poem from Montreal Adoption Center

[KS Newf]

My daughter is adopting two cats from here, and this sweet poem was on their site. I thought you all might enjoy its positive message.

The Animals' Savior

I looked at all the caged animals
in the shelter...
the cast-offs of human society.
I saw in their eyes love and hope,
fear and dread, sadness and betrayal.

And I was angry.

"God," I said, "this is terrible!
Why don't you do something?"
God was silent for a moment,
and then He spoke softly.
"I have done something," He replied.

"I created you."
