SEASONAL NOTICE FROM THE RSPB*
Think of her.
Small, alone and afraid.
Abandoned in a dusty, forgotten corner.
The joy that once flooded through her
Has now been drained away.
The people who once loved her
Have now cast her
From their minds.
Think of her.
Will you give her a home?
Will you pick her up
And caress her
With your caring hands?
Will you show her she’s wanted
And help her remember
That a book is for life
And not just World Book Day?
