Listen to poem:
A Spirit Broke - Animal Cruelty
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
