"Now I lay me down to rest I pray my soul can stand this test Of watching puppies lose their homes Through owners gripes and cries and moans I long for strength of spirit when I pray they'll find a home again Where they will know a loving heart I can't do much, but it's a start........ And spare me from the owners pleas About the baby's allergies Or how the place is just a state Or spitefulness 'tween cat and mate Please keep me sane while dealing with The woman who bought as a gift A wriggling tiny ball of fluff That now is playing way too rough Remind me I should bite my lip When confronted with, "he grew too quick" "I didn't know he'd get so large" "He seems to think that he's in charge" Protect my heart when I hear them say "I think we'll breed our dog one day" Sometimes I think it'll break in two Each day brings trials harsh and new And if I die before I wake I pray a hopeless soul you'll take My tears are gone, my faith is bare Please hear my rescue prayer." |
