Incredible Critters What bright eyes have these, like round black marbles, these tiny furry puffs with legs all splayed and kicking, and mouths that stretch from ear to ear in toothless suckle. They cry in sound that crosses a cricket with a kitten wild and untamed yet plaintive and complaining like hunger. Mother earth, where such amazing things are born and clamor for life across endless cruel time, who will feed all the infants that crawl from dark places into the light with empty bellies and no mother? There are many caring hearts I know with pleasure, rescuers of lost and needy little things, with tiny bottles they wake at night at each small sound and give the gift of life. Incredible critters these tiny hand-sized raccoons, and lucky, even humans are not always so blessed. |

Martie~ Awwwwwwwwww ! How sweet. Oh ... sounds like some of those little critters I'm always rescuing. Everybody knows ... if it needs to be fed at 2-4-6 & 8 ... give it to Marge. We all should remember to take care of these precious little creatures of God. And if you can't do it yourself ... then donate to those centers that do. We are the life line to so many little critters of nature. Thank you, my caring friend, for this. I just got two new LoveBirds today that someone brought to work cause no one wanted them. So .... 2-4-6-8 ! Bleary-eyed I gladly am !  Love you, girlfriend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
