It makes me cry,
As I see you try,
My legs untie,
First not to walk by.
You help my plight,
With all your might,
Doing what is right,
In the middle of night.
Wildlife SOS,
Are a success.
I'm an elephant called Raju,
And it's thanks to you,
That a daring rescue,
Made my dream come true.
You teach how to be humane,
With your tireless campaign,
To remove my chain,
So I walk without pain.
You saw my need,
Did the deed,
And now I'm freed,
You give me feed.
When I taste mango,
I could dance the tango,
On long green grass,
With my new found lass.
Don't be sad when you think of my past,
It's thanks to you I'm free at last.
And for those who doubt my tears,
There is nothing to fear,
From accepting emotion,
Or seeing family devotion.
Only by being kind,
Can you have a happy mind.
