"My Eyes"
Look into my eyes and tell me what you see.
A life that was filled with love and care,
but now I want and need.
Can you see in them my friends and family?
I tell you now, my past is just a mystery
I was once selected because I was so cute and fluffy.
But now I have been replaced as I seem a little too old and gruffy.
So, how can you love me so tender and sweet?
And cause I'm older, you just toss me to the street?
I was faithful, loyal and so very true
Please tell what . . . I did to you!!
My dear friendly shelter worker, this is what I say,
That is why I'm not trusting anyone today.
You mean well as you handle me kindly and sweet.
I knew that touch and love before yes, just before the street!
Now can you understand the loneliness and my pain,
And why I don't want to go through life this way again.
Just look into my eyes and tell me what you see!!
