A 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.
As dear God i pray, as i sit in this
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 i ran away,
to rummage in garbage and live
as a stray.

But now I'm tired and hungry and cold,
and I'm 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 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.
I wont chew their shoes, and I'll
do as i should.

I will love them, protect them and
try to obey.
When they tell me to sit, to lie down
or to stay.

Cause I'm getting so weak and
I'm Oh so alone.
Each night as i sleep in bushes
i 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 please answer
my prayer,
and send me somebody who will
really care!
