Left to my own resources
\nNo food, nothing at all
\nMost of the time no one
\nTo love me
\nHowever much I did call
\nAnd so i just decided
\nThere was no reason to be
\nHere anymore
\nI’d walk out the door
\nAnd just Find my destiny<\/p>\n
Los Angeles is a big place
\nLots of people there
\nBut nobody to look after me
\nJust increasing despair
\nI was sad beyond words really
\nBeing so alone
\nI wanted to be loved so much
\nAnd a place to call my own<\/p>\n
But it did not materialise
\nSadly not for me
\nFrom dawn to dusk
\nI slogged the streets
\nAnd cried incessantly
\nNo food no where to bed down
\nNo basket no where warm
\nWhen it rained i just got soaked
\nEven in a storm<\/p>\n
I had to kind of sit it out
\nAnd dry off best I could
\nFor days and days I wondered
\nCould my life be good
\nSome people were nice to me
\nOthers were so gruff
\nRan me out of their backyards
\nYes life was really tough<\/p>\n
Taking from the gutter
\nAnything I could I was feeling weaker
\nMy skin it didnt feel good
\nIt was very itchy I was dirty
\nAnd I knew
\nThat I was going to die some day
\nAlone, and thats what drew<\/p>\n
Me to well kind of thinking perhaps
\nGo residential
\nwalk around the streets
\nWhere people were
\nperhaps someone might see me
\nAnd help me It might stir
\nLove inside some stranger
\nWho might just take me in
\nI thought
\nOtherwise to die alone out here
\nWould count for naught<\/p>\n
And actually someone did see me
\nApparently they thought
\nIn my scruffy condition
\nThat I was a wolf
\nIn short
\nAngels came to get me
\nA Caring thoughtful lass
\nWho talked to me
\nSo gently
\nAt no time was she crass<\/p>\n
And none of the vile expletives
\nNo threats nothing like that
\nThis lady was just lovely
\nI felt that I was at
\nA place that I had dreamed I’d be
\nSomeone who might care
\nSomeone who might love me
\nSomeone standing there<\/p>\n
Offering me some biscuit
\nWhat had I to lose
\nI had reached rock bottom
\nJust feeling the blues
\nOvercome by everything
\nFeeling really low
\nAnd someone came out of no where
\nAnd I wanted to go<\/p>\n
With them and I was
\nAt the vets being looked after there
\nBeing washed and being loved
\nPeople there did care
\nThey stroked me
\nAnd they fed me
\nAnd they loved me for who I was
\nFull on mange
\nThe parasites
\nWere at me well because<\/p>\n
My system had begun
\nTo shut down
\nI was so forlorn
\nNever in a month of sundays
\nSince I had been born
\nHad I got quite so sad inside
\nCrying everyday
\nWanting some love from anyone
\nAnd prepared to pay<\/p>\n
It was horribly uncomfortable
\nMy ears my mouth my all
\nBut these folk really cared for me
\nAnd I heard them call
\n“Julia come on lovely”
\nDirected at me
\nMe a wolf like ragged hound
\nNo one could ever see<\/p>\n
My health well it rebounded
\nMy confidence it came
\nBack to me the food and warmth
\nAnd care there was no blame
\nJust love and a commitment
\nTo get me well and see
\nIf they could find a family
\nSomewhere
\nWho might just take me<\/p>\n
A foster home inside a home
\nWith a welcoming refrain
\nSomewhere I could sit snd rest
\nAnd be a dog again
\nBe loyal to my fsmily
\nAnd not be feeling bad
\nNot be having nightmares
\nLike all the nights I had had<\/p>\n
The worrying and the uneasiness
\nLeft me gradually
\nAll that irritation
\nOf it, I was free
\nBlessed again and hoping
\nA forever home would be
\nSomewhere I could call, my home
\nFor an eternity<\/p>\n
A warm glow of cordiality
\nWas running through my veins
\nInfluenced and happy
\nWith all the lovely gains
\nGood food and the caring
\nThe love I had always missed
\nOther dogs were happy
\nOther dogs were kissed<\/p>\n
But me life had been terrible
\nAll alone and blue
\nI wanted so much to be happy
\nI do think we all do
\nSomeone just to call me
\nSomeone I could show
\nMy feelings too
\nSomeone out there
\nI knew I could go<\/p>\n
And then I got the message
\nMy forever home was now
\nI was in the wagon
\nReally I dont how
\nIt all came together
\nBut I had a glow in me
\nI just felt this was going
\nTo be the day when I would see<\/p>\n
My new folks and I heard
\nDogs barking I could smell
\nA place
\nIt smelled good
\nI heard voices there
\nIn a new neighbourhood
\nA way out side the city
\nLots of green around
\nAnd I was in a brand new home
\nMy joyfulness I found<\/p>\n
A lady with two big dogs
\nOne a bit like me
\nHer daughter who was smiling
\nThe house was big to see
\nAnd feel and hear the happiness
\nI hoped at last I could be
\nPart of what looked beautiful
\nA forever home for me<\/p>\n
Yes I am here still part of
\nA forever family
\nFilled with love and lovely walks
\nAnd friendship where I be
\nIn my own space my basket
\nToys and Joys and I
\nIt all clicked into place
\nFor me I ay this on a high<\/p>\n
My coat now it is perfect
\nThe woods are at the back
\nThe yard is really spacious
\nNothing do I lack
\nThe boys are about as big as me
\nAnd already we are friends
\nYou cannot imagine
\nThe joy I feel
\nAnd how all of this sends<\/p>\n
Neglect had caused
\nPeople to feel
\nI was a wild wild wolf
\nFor real
\nThat probably saved me
\nGot me to where
\nThe angels came
\nAnd began to care<\/p>\n
My recent life story
\nStarted badly
\nBut happily I now relate it
\nGladly
\nIts christmas here
\nOur
\nYule tide glee
\nIn a loving home
\nWhere they all love me<\/p>\n
Its hard to express
\nHow good I feel
\nHow life can be lovely and so real
\nFrom bad beginnings
\nTo heaven on earth
\nWith a family who care
\nAnd know its worth<\/p>\n
So very much in every way
\nWe all muck in and every day
\nGets better and better
\nwith lots of play
\nLovely grub and a places to be
\nAnd the woods to explore
\nTo pretend and see
\nThe wild forest folk
\nAnd know that I be<\/p>\n
Where all animals should be
\nIn a loving caring beautiful place<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
