Hi Kymberlie, I saw your request, and the cat poem, in the FML this morning. I've never written a poem before in my life (as will be evident upon reading it :)), but the cat poem inspired me a little and I came up with something for your reading enjoyment. You're free to use it for your shelter. In fact, I would be honored to see it associated with ANY ferret shelter. Hope you like it. A Shelter Poem Hello my little ferret friend You come to me with heart to mend I know not why they let you go I only know you need help so I tend your needs and then you start To share your love, to steal my heart The time will come to watch you go With one I trust to love you so My heart will break, my eyes will tear But go you must, with no more fear More will come to fill this hole That's in my heart for each lost soul But you my friend, the memories stay Until my life meets its last day.
