Best Rescue Poems

She sat on a small window bench 
Her head resting on her hand
Looking out into the dark glooming
As the silvery moon rose to shine 
On the rippling waves of the bay.

It seems she was winkling at her.
Telling her not to give up hope,

On the horizon...

Come lads he says we are needed
Some poor soul is lost tonight
Let’s fill the barrel with brandy
A life saver to a cold fright

I have the lantern to guide us
Your noses must do the rest
Careful as we walk the ice flow
Jack Frost has given us a...

Titanic down 
Lifeboats adrift
Many saved 
Many missed
 
On the scene " The Carpathia "
To the saved ones
The real White Star
Off she steams
New York ahead
Leaving behind many dead
 
Pier 54 this saviour docks
As New Yorkers race to flock
To witness survivors of this tragic ship
On her Maiden...

Animals saving animals from death
 As they step in to lend a helping "hand"
  For creatures on the brink of their last breath
 These acts of kindness are surely quite grand

 A brown bear steps in, saves a drowning crow
 Plucking it out the...

Stranded in war torn Sudan, 
Dreading yet another dawn. 
In Wadi Sayyidna town,
Hopelessness was weighing down.

Men and women, young and old, 
Watched the civil war unfold.
Homeless, desperate, full of  fear, 
Longing for their near and dear. 

Then on 27th April night,
A C-130J took flight....

Torn in silence
night covers bygone fantasies

In snow and mud stuck off the road
On hill—we killed anti-skid mode
Then cleaned your tire tread
And rocked straight ahead
So now you've no need to be towed!

I rescue pups,
I always have.
Their eyes thank me.

Cats follow me.
They always have.
No thanks at all.

My man and I.
Rescue each other.
Always have....

He seemed very much like those white dogs before,
With a raggedy coat, pointed ears and much more.
But the likeness soon ended to those dogs gone away.
For he'd never known kindness or love in his day.

He didn't know words, didn't even know stairs.
His nose, from the...

Rescue Me

Yesterday is gone away
I look but all I see.
Are dreams left for tomorrow
and things that used to be.

I tried I cried sometimes denied
the things that I once wanted.
Living in the yesterdays
by which I'm sometimes haunted.

Carried now up in the clouds
that float so high above...

Sand dunes, nothing but sand dunes,
Some large, some small.
And the sun burning over the terrain.
No oasis, not even a mirage of one.
The last drop would not quench the thirst
He felt it in his soul.  For now 
She was dead and buried
And his soul was...

You can’t want it
More than they do

Stop meddling
You’re not helping

When they clearly
Don’t want your help

I understand
It’s inconceivable
That they refuse
To be as happy as you

It’s one of life’s mysteries
How some would rather
Wallow in their misery

Stop meddling

You can’t want it
More than they do

The rain came and pummelled her. She did not stop walking.
A tree limb fell, knocking her down. She got back up.
Lightning came, but she did not fold, she was too determined.
A man stopped and tried to give her a lift. She said "no thank you."

She...
