Bones

You loved me enough to give me a name
Life as a puppy was one great big game
Now as I go through my teenager years
Life is filled with scolding's and tears
 

I didn't ask to be born a pit bull
Yet from my litter you chose to pull
You took me home, a bundle of joy
Said I was your own special boy
 
Now so easily you just walk away
Without giving a thought of where I might stay
I'm not just a couch or an object to store
My care will take just a little bit more
 
But nobody's willing to give me a chance
Not even willing to give me a glance
They hear of my breed and just turn of their head
Chances are now I will just wind up dead
 
I pray that you think the next time you look up
Of this cute little angel above as your pup
 The one you held lovingly, warm in your arms
The one who tried showing you all of his charms
 
Will most likely end up being put to my death
 Alone and terrified as I take my last breath
 How can you look at yourself and think it's okay
To go on with your life like its just another day
 
Thank God there are people who will mourn for my loss
People who understand why He died on the cross
That every living creature has a heart and a soul
During our times of distress they try to console
 
Even they can't save each and every one
They try and try, yet their work's never done
But at least they keep a place in their heart
For those of us who must now so depart
 

I pray that God will give them strength

To help keep the pain at least at arm's length
