I want to have a
I want to have a job that
Electrifies
Sends love in sparks
through the skies
I want be the shelter for
The "less priviledged"
The ones without a voice
The ones who get tossed aside
Because they have no one
To take the time
To show some compassion
I want to run an animal shelter
That very well one day may
Merge with people
Giving homes to the homeless
Love to the loveless
Allowing their love to bloom together
I just want to help.
Spread the word of love and hospitality
You see,
I have been surrounded by animals,
All of my life
Played outside
Just to feel the life and freedom of
A backyard full of cats and dogs
A place of harmony.
When the rest of the world was discontent
When my family was in shambles,
And friends were non-existent,
I found love in pets
And swore that I would be the best mother
They could ever have.
At age 13 I started watching Animal Cops on TV
Never, in my life, did I think I could experience so much rage
A fire started
In my soul, that spread to my stomach
And eased when it reached my heart
Suddenly I realized, what I was up against
The monsters that take lives
Carelessly
I saw in that moment
That I wouldn't be okay
To live in this world, allowing such things to happen
I promised myself,
I was going to make a difference.
At age 15, I saw the show Pitbulls and Parolees
And realized, that I was not alone in this fight
There were others out there,
Who dedicated their entire life
To a cause I was just about to dive into
I want to change the world
But I need to change lives first.
I need get my education so that I can
Show the world just how much one woman can do
I want to love the animals of the world
And I won't stop
Until I have my own no kill shelter
I won't stop for any reason
Because there are no reasons
Not to follow your dreams
There are no reasons to give up
No,
In this world
There are only excuses
And I have none
Just a heartful of love
And a belly full of fire
Ready to take on the world
One battered, deserving animal at a time.
