Saved

I felt it
Let me say the year
Was drawing nigh
It hadn’t been so cold its true
But I can tell just by the sky

The moon and the stars mean much
To me
And it is just a hop
From my shed to the slaughterhouse
Where we all get the chop

The farmer opened up the door
And the others said goodbye
And I was left to watch my breath
In the icy stall just fly
He came for me
But left me here
He chose not to take me
My heart was jumping pumping
I felt so crazily

That something wonderful had happened
And in fact to me
I would see the new year in
Not be slaughtered painfully

And then i heard a lady
Jennifer Staurt had
Begged him not to have me killed
That she would do this
I was filled
With so much joy i cried and cried
I cried myself to sleep
A human had stuck up for me
Somewhere in her deep
She had felt my fearsome state
I had no wish to die
And she had in fact picked up on that
And that was the reason why

and the farmer man was convinced by her
That is not an easy thing
So I am still here swishing my tail
And trying hard to bring
Myself into the happiest state
Than any cow could be
I hope she comes by and says hello
For
I now need to see

Her
