"A
Home for the Broken"
By Whiskey Black
They abandoned me because I liked to chase cats.
They dumped me because I chewed up their things like a rat.
No one wants me, my back legs are deformed,
from an accident that happened after I was born
We
can all run and play, we have no special needs
Aside from wanting love, affection, kindness and treats
But
the truth is we'll never find a home
because no one wants to deal with a broken dog
This
new home we’re at has concrete floors
No room to play, or run and stretch our paws,
and the love that we get is only a few minutes a day,
we're stuck in a cage and there's locks on the doors
With
you we always felt loved and never alone,
You did everything you could, you did your best
Whether it was a hug or a kiss, or a giant milk bone
You treated us like equals, not less than the rest
People
always came to look but never followed through
Don't cry sweet girl, you did everything you could
there's nothing else you could do
You always promised we'd find a home
Today is the day, you were right all along
The nice man came and took us from our cage
finally we're free, we've found our home
We're
chasing kittens across rainbows and sleeping on clouds,
We're running and playing, just look at us now
So dry your eyes sweet girl, and please try to see
those other homes we had were never meant to be
Because no one but God wants a broken dog
-In memory of Jackson, Clyde and Sweetie-
