I saw this on Facebook.
I shall
Gather up
All the lost souls
That wander this earth
All the ones that are alone
All the ones that are broken
All the ones that never really fitted in
I shall gather them all up
And together we shall find our home
A little poem written by Athey Thompson
Taken from A Little Book Of Poetry
By Athey Thompson
The picture is of Kate Ward, lovingly called "Camberley Kate." She was well known in Camberley, England, as the lady who would wander the streets with her stray dogs cart and gather up all the waifs and strays. It is said that during her life she rescued and gave a loving home to over 600 homeless dogs.
Here's a wonderful tribute page to Kate Ward, also known as Camberley Kate:
