Dog rescue

There’s no need to flinch when I lift my hand
No need to cower each time I stand
No need to run when I come near
No need to tremble, I see your fear.

You can sleep with both eyes shut,
Don’t need to jump when you wake up
Your food is yours to eat in peace
No need to fight to keep your feast.

You don’t need to lie upon hard floor
The beds and the sofas are yours to explore
Don’t need to sit out in the rain
The house is your shelter it’s your new domain.

I cannot erase the memories and fears
I cannot compensate for all the wasted years
All I have is what you see
But I give you it all and I give you me.

I give you these arms to comfort and hold
I give you this voice for the joys you’ll be told
I give you my heart and an abundance of love
I give you my soul and I hope it’s enough.
