Poem: No wild goose chase

Inspired by the article about the trooper who rescued the hissing geese from I-5, Jean Monce Bryant  has written a poem.


SHOWING LOVE IS NO WILD GOOSE CHASE

That trooper who went on that goose chase
Should surely be given a medal
The folks in their cars who slackened their pace
And took heavy feet off the pedal

To save Mama Goose and her goslings
To give them a chance to survive
They all our heroes—for Wildlife it’s true
Is just such a boon to our lives

The one who was injured and damaged
And then did not make it all through
It taught us that lending a wing or a hand
Is something we all need to do

And PAWS is right there at the forefront
Each day they are doing their best
To rescue the injured and give them great care
And bring them to kennel or nest

So just keep alert to the message
That though on this Earth there is pain
The message is simple—the story is true
Showing love will bring the greatest gain
