An Orphan Dog's Prayer

I am an orphan dog with ears, big eyes, four feet and a tail                                                               Some of us were on the streets eating from garbage pails                                                              Abused by some rejected by most feeling scared and lost                                                       Needing to find someone to love no matter what the cost

I stand in my cage eagerly waiting, hoping to see                                                                                         if someone will come to save and rescue me                                                                                          I'll do anything for attention, to make myself known                                                                                  I'm anxious to be chosen, for my forever home

GOD touch their hearts to want me, help me pass the test                                                               patience is the key to build my trust and ease my stress                                                                  help them teach me all I need to learn, I'll do my best                                                                                  to show them I'm worth the time, they must invest

GOD gave me gifts of love and loyalty, that I'll freely give                                                                        I'll love my family completely, for choosing me to live                                                                              I don't care if they're rich or poor, I'll love them as they are                                                         Spending time with them, is healing salve for scars

But GOD I'll understand, if you decide to call me home                                                                           I know to be with you, is better than allowing me to roam                                                                          I am just not meant to live a life unloved and all alone                                                                              GOD please help me find a family of my very own 

If is not to be, then I'll leave my spirit in your care                                                                          When I get to Heaven, maybe I'll find my family there                                                                                          I know you've heard my plea because you're everywhere                                                                            So thank you GOD for listening to, my orphan dog's prayer
