Kitty's bed time prayer
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray this cushy life to keep.
I pray for toys that look like
mice,
and sofa cushions, soft and nice.
For grocery bags where I can hide,
just like a tiger, crouched
inside!
I pray for gourmet Kitty snacks,
and someone nice to scratch my back.
For window sills all warm
and bright,
for shadows to explore at night.
I pray I'll always stay real cool,
and keep the secret feline
rule.
To NEVER tell a human that...
the world is really ruled by CATS!
DO I GO HOME TODAY
My family brought me home, cradled in their arms
The cuddled me and smiled at me, said I was full of charm
They
played with me and laughed with me and showered me with toys
I sure do love my family - especially the girls and boys
The
children loved to feed me - they gave me special treats
They even let me sleep with them - all snuggled in the sheets
I used to go for lots of walks - often several times a day
They
even fought to hold the leash - Im very proud to say
These are the things I'll not forget - a cherished memory
Because
I now live in the pound -without my family
They used to laugh and praise me - when I played with that old
shoe
But I didn't know the difference between the old ones and the new
The kids and I would grab a rag - for hours we
would tug
So I thought I did the right thing when I chewed the bedroom rug
They said I was out of control and would have to live outside
This
I did not understand although I tried and tried
The walks all stopped just one by one, they said they hadn't time
I
wish I could change things, I wish I knew my crime
My life became so lonely, in the back yard on a chain
I barked and
barked all day long - just to keep from going insane
So they brought me to the shelter, but were embarrased to say
why
They say I caused an allergy - then they each kissed me goodbye
If I'd only had some classes - when I was just a
pup
Then I would have been a better dog - when I was all grown up
'you only have one day left' I heard the worker say
Does
that mean I have a second chance?
DO I GO HOME TODAY?
One by One
One by one, they pass by my cage
Too old, too worn, too broken, they say
Way past his time, he can't
run and play
They shake their heads and go on their way
A little old man, arthritic and sore
It seems that I am wanted
no more
I once had a home, I once had a bed
A place that was warm, and where I was fed
Now my muzzle is grey, and
my eyes slowly fail
Who wants a dog so old and so frail?
My family decided I didn't belong
I got in their way, my
attitude wrong
Now I sit in this kennel, where day after day
The younger ones are chosen and taken away
When I had
come to the end of my rope
You saw my face and again I knew hope
You saw past the grey, the legs wobbly with age
And
felt I deserved life beyond this cage
You took me home, gave me food and a bed
You gently stroked my poor tired head
We
snuggle and play, you talk to me low
You love me so dearly, and make sure I know
Although I have lived most of my life
with another
You outshine them with a love so much stronger
I promise to return all the love I can give
To you my
dear friend, as long as I live
I may be with you for a week, or for years
We will share many smiles, and a few tears
When
the time comes, that God deems I must leave
I know you will cry and your heart it will grieve
When I arrive at the Bridge
all brand new
My thoughts and my heart will still be with you
And I will brag to all who will hear
Of the person
who made my last days so dear
