STRAYS
FOR THOSE OF US
WHO LOVE ANIMALS THERE IS AN EXPENSIVE PRICE TO PAY
WHEN A STRAY WHO BECAME YOUR VERY OWN PET SUDDENLY PASSES AWAY
YOUR HEART IS BROKEN AND THERE
IS SIMPLY NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO
TO TAKE AWAY THE GRIEF OF LOOSING SOMETHING SO PRECIOUS TO YOU
I THOUGHT TO MYSELF NEVER AGAIN,
I CAN’T GO THROUGH THIS ANYMORE
AND THEN I WAS FACE TO FACE WITH ANOTHER NEEDING A HOME, LOVE AND MORE
I WAS ON THE PORCH STEPS AND HE
CAME UP TO ME LOOKING A LITTLE LOW
HE LOOKED AT ME AS IF TO SAY; I HAVE NO ONE TO LOVE ME AND NO WHERE TO
GO
I TOLD HIM NOT TO WORRY, HE WAS
AT HOME NOW WHERE HE SHOULD BE
IT’S BEEN QUITE A FEW YEARS NOW THAT HE’S BEEN LIVING WITH
ME
SO AS LONG AS THERE ARE STRAYS
OUT THERE IN SO MUCH NEED
I WILL BE THERE FOR THEM AND MAY SUFFER HEARTACHE AGAIN INDEED
BUT IT’S REALLY A SMALL PRICE
TO PAY FOR THE LOVE THEY WILL GIVE TO YOU
THEY WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR BEST FRIEND AND LOVE YOU FOR THE THINGS YOU DO
*IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY LITTLE ELIZABETH*
