I Found Myself
I found myself this past year.
I found myself in the faces too beautiful to touch.
I found myself in the eyes of those who have seen too much.
I found myself kissing the noses of those without voices.
I found myself crying when we had to make hard choices.
I found myself laughing at the playfulness of one dog.
I found myself swooning over the puppies I wanted to hog.
I found myself listening to the heartbroken cases.
I found myself joining in to rescue from dangerous places.
I found myself beaten and broken when it seemed like there was no support.
I found myself standing up when others were losing rapport.
I found myself in every dog that came in to the rescue.
I found myself in the lives they now had a chance to choose.
I found myself when I knew this job would never make me famous.
I found myself amongst the glory, happiness, depression, and chaos.
I found myself pursuing my lifelong goals.
I found myself when I started saving forgotten souls.
