Foster Christmas
Once upon a midnight dreary
You came to me, tired and weary
No longer wanted, no longer of need
Just dumped at the shelter, an easy deed.
On Christmas eve, no room at the inn
Unwanted and unloved, but hardly a sin
It was you who answered my needs and a prayer
My only want, someone to care
Twas only past years that I was so sweet
But soon banned to the backyard, in cold and in heat
The kids had their friends and I wasn’t as fun
So stuck in the yard, snow, rain and sun
The kids grew and moved on in life
Still on my chain, still an unwanted strife
I’m weary and cold, please answer my prayer
All I’m asking is someone to care
My old bones are creaky, and I’ve grown weary
A stranger approaches and I’ve grown leary
My tired eyes soon see, its no stranger as thought
It’s the owner who once loved me, but its all for naught
He grabs my chain, and we go for a walk
Right to the car, but he doesn’t talk
He opens the door and soon I can see
There are dozens of dogs left just like me
He turns on his heels, and walks straight away
Never even glancing or looking my way
He said I’ve become a burden, to much strife
I’m only his dog, and would lay down my life
But you’ve come for me, and now I’ll be fine
Fatten me up and give my coat a new shine
You’ll love me and feed me till I’m all well
Thank you for taking me from my former hell
You’ll find me a home, a perfect fit
I’ll down and I’ll stay and I’ll even a sit
For my new owners, I’ll be their new best friend
Yes, I can feel it, my hearts beginning to mend
They tell me a foster, you were to me
You’ve mended my heart and I’ve started to see
Just like with Jesus, no room at the inn
Being unwanted was my biggest sin
My spirit has mended and I’ve started to thrive
Happy again, I’m glad I’m alive
For you my foster, in all my prayers
Thanks to you, I know someone cares.
And so my Christmas wish has gone out
You’ve been so good, Santa won’t doubt
And every angel will send you their love
Along with God, his love from above
And after tomorrow and as soon as I go
You’ll be home with another in tow
God will be watching, and bless you as well
For taking them out of their living hell
You’ll pet them and hug them as you did me
Caring and loving so very selflessly
Unwanted and unloved, our only sin
Another heart opened and room at the inn.
