When light is falling all around And crashing waves obscure the sound, There is a heart that beats aloud And brings a peace to calm the crowd. There is a joy that fills the heart When those unknown become a part. The world is smaller, softer, sweet When love extends it's hands and feet. Though all seems dark and somber here, The voice of love is ever near To pierce the quiet solitude And bring the hungry beggar food. You've touched a life, You've touched a heart You've touched a gentle, living part Of this vast universe combined To bring a peace to soul and mind. To those who have responded so far to our plea for help we humbly offer our sincere gratitude. The above verse was penned for you. Take it as my gift for your unselfishness. With loving thoughts, Carin Riley South Florida Ferret Club and Rescue, Inc. [Posted in FML issue 1988]
