Our paths will cross for
only a short time, but while you are in my care I
will be devoted to you. If memories of your former
life are painful, I will help erase them. No longer
will you hunger and I will help to heal your wounds.
If your former life was good, I will promise you an
even better future.
One day our time together will come to an end and
you will go off to your new home, healthy, happy and
healed. As a parting gift, I will give you a piece
of my heart to remember me by. I may shed a tear .
. . not for my loss, but for your gain.
Perhaps our paths may cross again for a fleeting
instant and I will be comforted by the aura of love
that surrounds you. There will always be a bond
between us, though we walk separate paths through
this life.
After we reach our heavenly reward our paths may
cross again. You may try to return the piece of my
heart with thanks for all that I did for you. I
will tell you to keep it and thank you for showing
me that I could be better than I thought I could be,
and that I learned in giving came the greatest
gifts.
The pieces of our hearts are like grains of sand.
They are pulled along a current beyond our control
until they come together and form a safe haven.
I, like you, came to understand what it meant to be
saved.

A Poem for The Precious Golden Oldies
With still so many sunrises and sunsets
yet to enjoy;
Would love to spend them with you, my tennis ball
and maybe a favorite toy.
You know…someone no longer wanted me,
and decided to just give me up;
Was it because I was no longer a
fuzzy, yellow pup?
I'm so proud to be a precious Golden Oldie, and
that fact is very true;
With so much love yet to give…can I spend my
"golden" years with you?
It would be heavenly to rest my head upon your lap,
with your arms enfolding me;
And once again feel safe and loved, with us
just sitting under a majestic, old tree.
I've come such a long way…and my journey has been
extremely hard;
Would love to just sit by your side, or peacefully roam
around in the yard.
So won't you please adopt me soon, and my "new life's
story"
can begin to unfold;
For as we all know, there is nothing quite as nice,
as precious old gold!

THE
ANIMALS' SAVIOR
Copyright Jim Willis 1999
http://www.crean.com/jimwillis/
Reprinted with permission of the Author
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."
