I don't write poetry very often, but have been inspired by Charlie and Quincy (still don't know how to spell that little girl's name). My apologies to Dr. Suess (my favorite poet). I had a hard time writing this, but its been brewing since last night.

For the Rescues

I know the world has treated you rough,
and that humans can be so very unjust.
I know the life you have had has been harsh,
and it can be so hard to once again trust.

Know sweet one there’s an unwritten rule
that will serve you again and again, and its true.
That life doesn’t have to be scary and dark,
there’s a safe place that’s waiting for you.

A home that’s warm and cozy and nice,
a place where you’re loved and cuddled and kissed.
With someone to love you hand hold you so tight
a place where you know you’d always be missed.

There’s someone out there who’ll be your best friend,
who’ll stand by you though thick and thin.
Be patient little one while they're looking for you,
be patient and learn you can love once again.
