I weep for the great loss of the animals

though I am not quite sure why

perhaps its an extended feeling of heartbreak

I am feeling for those who already have lost so

much

and in their moment of being placed in the door way

of safety

the rescuers tell them the words no family

wants to hear

we can take you but you will have to leave your pets

behind

I don't ever want to know how that personally feels

my inner self whispers I would have to stay with them

otherwise I would be broken inside

unrepairable

a spark of innocence lost

I would be the condemner of unconditional love

how would I live with knowing that

for a reprieve and a rightful return to each

their former families

that was, is and ever will be my heart felt

prayer..........................
