All is quiet, all is still,
Morning has just broken.
The sun is rising on the horizon.
There�s dew resting on the ground.
The sun is now higher,
And the birds are chirping.
The animals are waking now,
And the rehab center is bustling with life.
I walk into the nursery,
Mel is meowing at my feet.
The animals are hungry,
The nursery�s a sight to see.
I feed the animals,
Give them water, too.
I clean out their cages,
And then sweep the floor.
I walk out to the compound,
And give the animals food and water.
I walk around to see that they�re content,
And smile as I take a moment of rest.
When I finally catch my breath,
I see much more left to do!
How will I get everything done?
I look at the sweet animals and then I move on.
The filters are now clean,
The cages have new hay.
The animals are resting,
So I take a break from the heat of the day.
It�s all worth it, I think to myself,
To see the animals as happy as can be.
It puts a warmness in my heart,
And on my face is a smile of glee.
