- I NEVER WAS A MOTHER
-
-
I never was a mother,
With children of my own,
But small creatures needing loving hands
Found their way into my home.
-
-
Sad eyes behind the shelter bars,
A beloved pet was lost.
I vowed that I must get him out,
no matter what the cost.
-
-
This type of work fills my heart
As each I get to know.
They stay to rest, grow healthy, strong,
Then I must let them go.
-
-
To new homes and new lives,
With my prayer for love-filled years.
I watch my charges leave one day
As I hold back my tears.
-
-
Some One assigns us each a part
To play in life's great game.
No, I never was a mother
But the role was near the same.
