Lonely Life

I live a lonely life

My world is the four walls of my home

It is the only place I have known

I was taken away for someone to own

Too young and naive was I

They promised of a new home

A family to love is what they cooed

In their arms they carried me

Never putting me down

Fearing the cold below

Tending me tenderly as always

I sniffed the air and tasted love

Now I was on my feet

I touched the earth for the first time

It felt cold, funny and strangely mine

A home of my own

Is what they called it

standing alone in the corner

Of the home i have known all long

I am given what is left off

They don't play with me anymore

Am i no longer wanted I ask?

They hit me and poke me

Anger and hatred is all they have for me

Love is only what I have for them

Its a lonely life I lead

I stare at the bees and birds that pass by

So free and happy they live

Days are passing by fast

I can only cry for they have done

I see someone new

He understands me I think

His eyes have seen it all

Look into mine and feel it

As I have felt it all along

It happened before my eyes

He stood in the dark by me

He cut my leash and let me go

Run home boy, run home was all he said

But this was my home all my life

I looked at my answer

And kissed his feet

And ran as far as my feet would carry

I lay down for I could walk no more

My time has come atlas

I dream of the birds and bees

Of the lovely days of mine

As I lay closed eyes

Everything is fading out by and by

I think the end is here

But it is two warm hands that I feel

They carry me to a stranger place

I hear birds and bees

I smell fresh air

I open my eyes and I see a face 

With all smiles for me

They help me step out

And indeed its birds and bees I see

I am no longer lonely

No longer unwanted

They feel for me what i feel for them

They understand I understand

This must be heaven I feel

And who else could he be but God
