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 and 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 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,

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 please!

If You find one for me God, I’ll 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, please answer my prayer and

Send me somebody who will really care ….
