"A Wildlife Rehabilitator’s Plea"
  
 
 

Spotted fawn left all alone in this vast world; you knew not why.
I answered softly in your ear,
"Please come to me; don't cry; don't cry."

Newborn squirrel fallen far from nest to ground, no mother near,
Come to me now; I shall protect and comfort you, my dear, my dear.
 
 

Oh, hungry wrens within the nest are calling loudly; so they dare.
Please bring them to me, everyone.
For them, I shall take care, take care.

And bobcat fierce thrown on the road from speeding car and careless one;
Bring him to me; for I am strong. He will be whole when I am done.
 


Chirping baby otter found upon cold river bank, I fear;
Come to my knowing heart for love.
I shall be here; I shall be here;
And all the orphaned, injured ones, come from the wild, to me, to me.
With every breath that I may have, I'll set you free; you will be free.
