It makes me cry, <br />As I see you try, <br />My legs untie, <br />First not to walk by. <br />You help my plight, <br />With all your might, <br />Doing what is right, <br />In the middle of night. <br /> <br />Wildlife SOS, <br />Are a success. <br />I'm an elephant called Raju, <br />And it's thanks to you, <br />That a daring rescue, <br />Made my dream come true. <br />You teach how to be humane, <br />With your tireless campaign, <br />To remove my chain, <br />So I walk without pain. <br />You saw my need, <br />Did the deed, <br />And now I'm freed, <br />You give me feed. <br /> <br />When I taste mango, <br />I could dance the tango, <br />On long green grass, <br />With my new found lass. <br />Don't be sad when you think of my past, <br />It's thanks to you I'm free at last. <br />And for those who doubt my tears, <br />There is nothing to fear, <br />From accepting emotion, <br />Or seeing family devotion. <br />Only by being kind, <br />Can you have a happy mind.<br /><br />Stephen Katona<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/raju-s-remarkable-rescue/
