A starving dog should never go hungry, and never go cold
No pet should be forgotten because they were old.
There should not be a cat to roam as a stray
They have no silver lining all their clouds are dirty and gray.
But I am just one little girl merely a child
So why are my dreams so dumb and so wild?
To give a home to every stray
To warm the ice cold hearts that throw them away
Because they were too old to play.
And every stray that I might meet
I'll find them a home and give them something to eat.
But most of all I'll give them love
Because animals are my gift from above.
And now I can go back to bed
Because I've written down what's in my head.
The thoughts and tears that keep me awake
The wish I wish for every birthday cake.
And maybe my wish will some day come true
but it's not only up to me, it's up to you.
