ANIMALS OF AFRICA!!!

When you look at wild animals

they are breathtaking,

so pure and natural.

If the animal looks you in the eyes

you can feel connected.

If the animal walks up to you

takes food from your hand,

you can feel trust.

When the animal keeps returning

for food,

you can feel needed.

By mistake

you take the animal home,

you can feel complete.

Time goes on

you look into the animals eyes,

you can feel sadness.

Knowing that

you have to return the animal to the wild,

you can feel loss.

When you let the animal go,

it runs!
