I AM A STRAY CAT

Dear God, please send me somebody who'll care.
I'm so tired of running and sick with despair.
My body is aching and filled with such 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 food of my own.

My last owner left me, alone in the yard...
I watched as they moved, and God that was hard.
So I waited a while, then went on my way
To rummage in garbage and live as a stray.
But now, I'm so tired and hungry and cold;
And I'm so afraid that I'll never grow old.

They've chased me with sticks and hit me with straps
While I run the streets just looking for scraps.
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 scratch the carpet; I'll do as I should.
I'll love them, and play, and try to obey.
I will be so grateful if they'll just let me stay.
I don't think I'll make it too long on my own,
'Cause I'm getting weak and I'm so all alone.

Each night as I sleep in the bushes I cry,
'Cause I'm so afraid 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 hear me, please answer my prayer,
And send me somebody who will REALLY care.

I promised to be good and never be sad
But my last owner she, she hurt me real bad.
So alone that I was and she honored my request
Only to scar me more than all of the rest
My fault, I see that I was mislead
No new owners for me, because now I am dead.
