CRY FROM A LONELY DOG

author unknown

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 glad to have me, When I came here as a pup.

There were many things we'd do, When 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 alone again.

The children said they'd feed me, And brush me every day.

They'd play with me and walk me, if only I could 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 is love, I wish they would explain.

Why they said they wanted mine, and left it on a chain?
