Animals' Savior

by Jim Willis, Copyright 1999

I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter...

the cast-offs of human society.

I saw in their eyes love and hope,

 fear and dread,

sadness and betrayal.

And I was angry.

"God," I said, "this is terrible!

Why don't you do something?"

God was silent for a moment,

and then He spoke softly,

"I have done something,"

He replied,

"I created You."
