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...
