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 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 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 just become "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 on their shoes,
but 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 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 going to die
And I've got so much love and devotion to give
That I should be given a chance to live.
So dear God please, please answer my prayer
