Jenny's Plea

In a cold dark barn
alone and in pain
Jenny wept,
abandoned.
Discarded,
bones broken unhealed.
Her tearful prayer..

i want to live
i want to be
warm and happy
loved and free.
i need my Mother,
no she is gone
is there another?
Gentle words
a loving touch,
to sleep in soft grass,
is it too much?

Her plea moved the heavenly keeper
of all the elephant souls that day.
Prayer answered, to sanctuary
she made her way.

Happy Anniversary Jenny!!!!
