Two tonnes of magnificence…..with her cruelly disfigured head
Yet…Hope was
Harmony in motion with each mighty tread
Her fight for life tireless…..her warrior spirit strong
Her wild rhino heart beating to a rhythmic African song
Out of the deep shadows and into the moonlight
Hope lies down gently….no longer able to fight
Her heart beat slowing….no longer a powerful thrum
Leaves flutter sadly….her journey on this earth done
On a gilt edged cloud she drifts….catching the sultry breeze
The silence of eternity her companion…..her soul floating away with ease
Leaning into the warm wind…..now a bright heavenly star
A beacon of hope for her kind…..shining down from afar
The gentle hush of evening carries our heartache and pain
Never let go of ‘hope’….the wind whispers her name
Fireflies will ghost….. like murmurs of the night
Fueling our courage to stand up for rhinos…and to fight the good fight
RIP Hope
‘May her great courage bring hope into our hearts….
Now and forever’

Thank you wonderful people who helped Hope.
This is heartbreaking and you have captivated my soul in great sadness; surely this is not what God intended when he gave man dominion over the earth. We have not been good stewards in keeping and greed has overtaken the heart of men and innocent beautiful creatures like Hope suffer and die needlessly at the hands of evil decaying souls bent on their deeds of murder to satisfy witchcraft. Surely Judgement will come to these when their time has come.
