I
wish
someone would tell me
What it is that I’ve done wrong,
Why
I have to stay chained up and
Left alone so long.
They
seemed so glad to have me
When I came here as a pup,
There
were so many things we’d do
While I was growing up.
They
couldn’t wait to train me as a
Companion and a friend,
And
told me how they’d never fear
Being left alone again.
The
children said they’d feed me
And brush me every day,
They’d
play with me and walk me
If I could only stay.
But
now the family “hasn’t time”
They often say I shed,
They
do not want me in the house
Not even to be fed.
The
children never walk me
They always say “not now!”
I
wish that I could please them
Won’t someone tell me how?
All
I had, you see, was love
I wish they would explain,
Why
they said they wanted me.
Then left me on a chain.
Dear
God, please send me somebody who’ll care!
I’m tired of running, I’m sick with despair.
My body is aching; it’s so racked with pain,
dear God I pray, as I run in the rain.
That someone will love me and give me a home,
A warm cozy bed and a big juicy bone.
My
last owner tied me all day in the yard
Sometimes with no water and God that was hard.
So I chewed my leash, and God I ran away.
To rummage in garbage and live as a stray.
But now God I’m tired, hungry and cold,
And I’m so afraid that I’ll never grow old.
They’ve
chased me with sticks and hit me with stones,
While I run the streets just looking for bones!
I’m not really bad, God please help if you can,
Or have I become just a “victim of man!”
I’m wormy dear God and I’m ridden with fleas,
And all that I want is an owner to please.
If
you find one for me God, I’ll try to be good,
And I won’t chew their shoes, and I’ll do as I should.
I’ll love them, protect them and try to obey…
When they tell me to sit, to lie down, or to stay!
I don’t think I’ll make it too long on my own,
Cause I’m getting so weak and I’m so all alone.
Each
night as I sleep in the bushes I cry
Cause I’m afraid God that I’m gonna die.
And I’ve got so much love and devotion to give,
That I should be given a new chance to live!
So dear God, please answer my prayer,
And send me someone who will REALLY care…
That is, dear God, if you are really there!
