ONTARIO
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 run away and I'll do as I should.
I don't think I'll
make it to 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...
Adapted
from John Quealy Prayer of a Stray
A
Lonely Cat
I wish someone would tell me what it is
that I've done wrong.
Why do I have to stay outside in the rain and be left alone so long?
They seemed so glad to have
me when I came here as a kitten.
There were so many things we'd do while I was growing up.
The Master said he'd
love me as a companion and a friend.
The Mistress said she'd never fear to be left alone again.
The children said they'd
feed me and brush me every day.
They'd play with me and walk me if I would only stay.
But now the Master hasn't
time, the Mistress says I shed.
She doesn't want me in the house, not even to be fed.
The Children never pet me; they
always say, "Not now"
I wish that I could please them. Won't someone tell me how?
All I had, you see, was love.
I
wish they would explain
Why they said they wanted mine,
And then left it outside in the rain.
