The rescue tree

Roots of caring, driven hearts

Strong selfless people each doing their part

 

Calling, testing, checking, pull

Another crisis, everyon’s full

 

Coming together, spreading around

Hoping in time a home will be found

 

Branches, each limb crucial to the task

I hoping the pieces will fall in place at last

 

Reaching, saving, helping, trying

Sometimes failing, often crying

 

Even strong limbs break under the strain

Other leaves, limbs there to soften the pain

 

Grow again, feel the sun

Unburden yourself; look at all you have done

 

Dring up the light, let go the strife

Know you made a differnce by saving a life
