Prayer of a Stray

I don't know if this has been posted before. I just saw it on FB posted by my daughter.

"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 and a big juicy bone.
My last owner tied me all day in the yard.
Sometimes with no water, and God, that was hard.

So I chewed my leash, God and I ran away
To rummage in garbage and live as a stray.
But, now, God, I'm 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 stones
While I run in the street 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
And I won't chew their shoes but I'll do as I should.

I'll love them, protect them and try to obey
When they tell me to sit, to lie down or to stay.
I don't think I'll make it too 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.
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.
That's all I ask, God, of You up there.

Yep, tissue alert. I had to stop reading.

Damn, humanity sucks sometimes.
