In a world where cruelty hides in day's bright light,  
A young heart stood firm, a beacon in the night.  
Luke Rowles, just fifteen, eyes wide and brave,  
Faced down the dark, a lone, innocent to save.

In a garden of shadows, where violence found its mark,  
A fox lay in agony, its future stark.  
Mouth sealed with silence, a duct tape chain,  
A creature of the wild, bound in human pain.

With courage that belied his tender years,  
Luke approached the group, despite his fears.  
He shouted, a voice against the tide,  
And with determined hands, he turned the ride.

He lifted the fox, from the depths of despair,  
Healing its wounds, with tender care.  
In his eyes, a resolve, pure and true,  
A spirit that through darkness flew.

He freed the fox, back to the wild's embrace,  
A gesture of hope, for the entire race.  
Luke Rowles, now a man, continues his creed,  
Rescuing those in need, a selfless deed.

The world needs more like him, hearts bold and kind,  
Who to cruelty and despair, refuse to be blind.  
For it's in acts of courage, in moments so bleak,  
We find the strength to give voice to the weak.

So here's to the brave, who stand tall and fight,  
For every creature's right to live in the light.  
May we learn from Luke, with his unconditional will,  
To protect, to care, and to heal.
