Prayer of a Stray

“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 I can call my own.
My last owner neglected me and chased me away
To rummage in garbage and live as a stray.
But now God I´ m tired and hungry and cold
And I´ m 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
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 won´ t runaway and I’ll do as I should.
I don´ t think I’ll make it too long on my own
Cause I´ m getting so weak and I´ m so alone.
Each night as I sleep in the bushes I cry,
And I've got so afraid I'm going to 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, PLEASE ANSWER my prayer
And send me somebody who WILL REALLY CARE.”
