Warning: You will cry!

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 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 lie 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, 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,, Ill try to be good

I won't chew their shoes and 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 so weak and I'm, Oh so alone

Each night as I sleep in the 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.

You were right. I did cry.
When I read things like this, I just want to help them all. It's so over whelming at times.
