A Poem: My Purpose To You
The poem I have written is dedicated to a rhino who I met. In their short lifetime, this rhino has witnessed and overcome horrific things I could not imagine living. By some miracle this rhino escaped death after conflicts with poachers. This rhino inspired me and gave me insight on how powerful, sincere, and special these creatures are. Even though it endured a living hell, the rhino still approached me and had so much trust in me. What an amazing moment and creature.
What Makes Me Cry: My Purpose To You
What makes me cry is knowing that you were hurt,
That someone didn’t see all the good in you
Your life for their greed, a measly price
I wish to call a lie, but horribly true
What makes me cry is knowing your story
Hacked and abandoned, a real nightmare
Never to forget what haunts you day and night
But you keep living, not stuck in your despair
What makes me cry is knowing your reality
This is your life, a seemingly dead end
From the deepest dwellings of hell
To an uphill battle, impossible to defend
What makes me cry is knowing you still go on
That after you have looked me in my eyes
I saw unconditional love and trust
You didn’t see your own demise
Your constant trust, curiosity and sincerity
It has never left your heart and always on mind
I’ll remember this moment, fight for you
That’s what really makes me cry
