How can one be happy,
when people die every day
from hunger or war,
when starving and neglected animals
cry out for the love they have never gotten?
One is happy because there is hope.
The hope that is put there by pantry volunteers,
peace corps workers and SPCA rescuers,
religion
and the child that nurses a sick animal back to health.
They give us hope because they are the army
that is fighting for a better future.

nice poem.
Reminds me of when I was a little kid I used to always find sick and injured animals and try to save them. They always seemed to die though… but I never really gave I hope. I stll don’t.
