'Shelter Me'

Glorious you are to me
Glorious I know you'll shelter me
Frail and young I falter, fall
You are there, I know you hear my call
Light the way and lead me through
Light the way, you know I'll follow you.

Composed especially for the animals of Turkey

DOG'S PRAYER

I ask for the priviledge of not being born...
not to be born until you can assure me of a home
and a master to protect me,
and a right to live as long as I am physically able to
enjoy life...
not to be born until my body is precious and men
have ceased to exploit it because it is
cheap and plentiful.

Stray's Prayer

Dear God please send me somebody who'll care! I'm tired of running,
I'm sick with despair.
My body is aching, it's so racked with pain.
And Dear God I pray as I run in the rain,
That someone will love me and give me a home.
A warm cozy bed I can call my own
My last owner neglected me and chased me away
To rummage in garbage and live as a stray.
But now God I'm tired and hungry and cold.
And I'm afraid that I'll never grow old.
They've chased me with sticks and hit me with stones
While I run in the streets just looking for bones!
I'm not really bad God, please help if you can.
For I have become just a "VICTIM OF MAN!"
I'm wormy Dear God and I'm ridden with fleas
and All that I want is an owner to please!
If you find one for me God, I'll try to be good
I won't run away and I'll do as I should.
I don't think I'll make it to long on my own,
Cause I'm getting so weak and I'm so all alone.
Each night as I sleep in the bushes I cry,
Cause I'm so afraid God, that I'm gonna die!
And I've got so much love and devotion to give,
That I should be given a new chance to live.
So Dear God PLEASE, PLEASE answer my prayer
