Alone Again

Alone Again
(author unknown)

I wish someone would tell me
What it is that I've done wrong,

Why I have to stay chained up
and 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,

They couldn't wait to train me
As a companion and a friend,

And told me how they'd never fear
Being left alone again,

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

They'd play with me and walk with me
If I could only stay

But now the family hasn't time
They often say I shed,

They do not 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 me
Then left me on a chain.

(remember owning a dog is commitment for their entire life, not just while they are a cute cuddly puppy)
