As my dog chews his stuffed toy
He is a happy little boy
I wish I could once be be like he
more like the way I used to be

Go through life without any cares
No Troubles or sadness or snares
That leave me so lost and alone
Abandoned and lacking a home

He sits near me now all tired out
nustling near my leg with his snout
He means well this cute little guy
I'm sad but he knows not why

I keep trying to be stronger
But can't seem to wait much longer
A void inside swallowing me
Pain and woe that won't let me be

Tonight I wish it all away
dreaming of love keeps it at bay
A dream that starts and ends like this;
Gentleness, and a loving kiss

A kiss from lips loving and warm
sadness and sorrow they transform
To tears of joy and happiness
Shared contentment and bliss

Tonight I feel I can't      go on
What's left of my hope feels gone
It was a stupid dream of love
Lovely angel sent from above   

But this evening I'm feeling blue
Wondering just what I might do
Before long May will become June.
I've got to get a fresh start soon.

For now I can only hope and pray                                                                                                   
For such a thing to come my way
Though my heart is tatered and worn
Waits patiently to be reborn
