I know for as long as I live I’ll never forget that day

Your little body mangled, you had no use of your rear

You clawed across the road with injuries so severe

At least four cars sat watching as you fought to stay alive

I’m surprised you weren’t hit again, the way that people drive

I plucked you up and held you close, knowing death was your fate

But I promised you I’d hold you close as you went to Heaven’s Gate

I didn’t walk away that day, leaving you to die alone

I figured I could comfort you, not make you leave life on your own

I took you to my vet, I had them take a look at you

I sat there in waiting room, waiting for x-rays to be through

Imagine my surprise to hear it was just a broken leg

For them to save your life, I didn’t even have to beg

It would take a special surgeon, only one could do the job

There’s no vet upon this Earth with the skills of Dr. Bob

He fixed your tiny body and his staff found you a home

Now you have a loving family who would never let you roam

I don’t know why God put me there, at that moment on that day

I guess He knew I’d be the one to make sure you’d be okay

Yes I had to pay your bill and I’d do it all again

There are creatures out there who will need me now and then

Tho others cannot understand the peace I feel inside

Saving of God’s creatures who otherwise would have died
