Stray's Prayer
- Author Unknown -
-
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,
and 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 and 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 in the streets just looking for bones!
I'm not really bad, God, please help if you can,
or I have 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 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 so 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'RE REALLY there!
