A Stray's Prayer

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 cosy 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 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 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 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!
