I'll never bring about
world peace.
I won't single handedly save the rain forest.
I'm not a brain surgeon and I'll never transplant an organ to
save a life.
I don't have the ear of a powerful politician or world power.
I can't end world hunger.
I'm not a celebrity,
and God knows I'm not glamorous!
I'm not looked up to by millions around the world.
Very few people even recognize my name.
I'll never win the Nobel prize or end global warming.
There are a lot of things that I'll never do or become.
But today I helped
place an animal!
It was a small, scared,
bundle of flesh and fur that was dumped
at a shelter, or on the streets by unfeeling people who didn't
care what happened to it,
but yet who were responsible for it having existence in the first
place.
I helped find it a
loving home.
It now has contentment
and an abundance of love. A warm place to
sleep and plenty to eat. Two little girls have a warm and playful
new friend who
will give them unending affection and teach them about responsibility
and love. A
wife and mother has a new free spirit to cuddle, nurture and care
for. A husband
and father has a furry friend to sit in his lap at the end
of a hard day of work
and help him relax and enjoy life.
And a sense of satisfaction, that when he is gone all day at work,
that there is
a gentle spirit in his home keeping watch over his family.
No, I'm not a rocket
scientist. But today, I made a difference!
And I'll do it tomorrow, too, if given a chance.
