A Spirit Broke - Animal Cruelty

Listen to poem:
Her body full of broken bones, a spirit broke Her eyes dull, fail in gratitude to your stroke Fragile and emaciated, as starved from food Life not worth living so to death didn’t elude Refusing to eat or drink, with eyes duller still No gentle words from us all gave her any will So, we placed an abandoned pup by her side On hearing it whimper her eyes opened wide And to her pain she arose to that pup's cries For the first time, hope was seen in her eyes Giving them time, and that time was enough Put her under; then the surgeon did his stuff Every broken bone repaired we left her to lie Her love now for a pup she didn't want to die We left the abandoned puppy next to her side To give her more hope once opening her eyes Her faith in humans lost was now found again Gaining a little puppy dog took away her pain Once put up for adoption, both went as a pair To a loving family, with so much love to share Her name became Serenity, and the pup Hope Mending two hearts that were otherwise broke
