Another sent to me by email.
I wish someone would tell me what it is that I've done wrong.
Why do I have to stay chained up and be left alone so long?
They seemed so glad to have me when I came here as a pup
There were so many things we'd do while I was growing up.
The Master said he'd train me as a companion and a friend
The Mistress said she'd never fear to be left alone again
The Children said they'd feed me and brush me every day
They'd play with me and walk me if I would only stay.
But now the Master 'hasn't time', the Mistress says I shed
She doesn't want me in the house, not even to be fed.
The Children never walk me, they always say, 'Not Now'
I wish that I could please them. Won't someone tell me how?
All I had, you see, was love,
I wish they would explain
Why they said they wanted mine,
And then left it on a chain. -
