Missy:
Before I arrived
here
I once had a name
while being forced
into this animal shelter
brought misery and shame.
My future seemed bleak.
I could only
cry
as one day after another
slowly
went by.
There are many others here
who suffer in silence
just like me
and we only want love
and the precious gift
to be free.
I'm really quite old now
so is this the end
of the line
or will I receive
redemption
and some kind of sign?
In the twilight of my years
I just need someone
to hold
ever since
my previous family
left me out in the cold.
Jane:
Before I arrived
here
I had forgotten my name
while being forced
into this nursing home
brought misery and shame.
My future seemed bleak.
I could only
cry
as one day after another
slowly
went by.
There are many others here
who suffer in silence
just like me
and we only want love
and the precious gift
to be free.
I'm really quite old now
so is this the end
of the line
or will I receive redemption
and some kind
of sign?
In the twilight of my years
I just need someone
to hold
ever since
my previous family
left me out in the cold.
Missy and Jane:
They rescued Missy the cat
and then she met
Jane.
Some angels walk among us
so it's never
in vain.
Missy now lays
on the bed
with the blessings they'll keep
content
and purring
as both ladies fall asleep.
