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 God; and I ran away
To rummage in garbage; and live as a stray.
But now God I'm tired; hungry and cold,
And I'm oh so afraid; that I'll never grow old.
They've chased me with sticks; hit me with stones.
While I run the streets; just looking for bones.
I'm not really bad God; please help if you can
For I have become just another; "victim of man!"
I'm wormy dear God; and I'm ridden with fleas,
and all that I ever wanted; was an owner to please.
If you find one for me God; I'll try to be good,
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 oh so alone.
Each night I sleep in the bushes and cry
cause I'm so afraid God; that I'm gonna die.
I've got so much love; and devotion to give
that I should be given; a new chance to live.
So dear God please; oh please; answer my prayer
and send me to somebody; who will really care
That is dear God; if You're really there!
