Old, sick, hungry and scared
crying and whining
for her loved ones
she lay for days
soaking wet
in the relentless rain
no one to care, no food, no water
abandoned, she waited.
Old and blind, her only fault...
A gentle, loving and docile creature
how can people be so cruel
so heartless,
betraying the trust
of these mute beings...
Her only fault, she can\'t talk
but her heart, full of love
unselfish and whole.
Her faith in us constant
never doubting that
she will be cared for.
Poor soul, her faith misplaced
for she was abandoned...
cruel and heartless, her owner
left her to fend for herself!
Thirsty and hungry
she whined and cried....
But not all of God\'s children
are heartless and cruel
for she was found,
fed, cared and loved for..
She left this world yesterday
for God\'s abode
but before she left
she got love at its best,
care and shelter,
safety and warmth.
Ammini, the gentle loving soul
one among many
who suffers like this
but for people who care
about them, our mute friends
and all creatures wonderful
in this world.
But for them
she would have died
hungry and scared; all alone
in the falling rain...
I have not met you Ammini
but I feel for you,
my heart\'s heavy!
I pray you are happy
loved and safe
wherever you are!
