They had heard I sometimes help with this sort of sadness
Your family has abandoned you and left you now homeless
I said I will take you and keep you as long as need be
Take you out of your cage, that for 45 days was all you could see
And my home is where you came
I opened my arms and love to you, and all my critters did just the same
You were skeptical at first, full of fear and mistrust
You were angry and agile, often causing lots of fuss
But you soon realized how much we cared about what was to happen to you
Letting your possible new homes take you home for a visit to see how you'd do
None of them worked out, I would take you back
I knew you were hurt and trust is what you lack
But soon no more visits, just our home was yours
No more being scared, feeling alone, and closed doors
Our home and love was now yours forever to stay
You thanked me with your smiles and licks, every single day
Your were so happy, playing and running free
no more cold cages and scary thoughts to see
We loved you with all our hearts
And you knew we'd never be apart
Unfortunately when your time had come to call
seeing you go was the hardest I'd had to fall
But what lifts me up is the opportunity you gave to me
Because you let me love you, your saddens to smiles is what I got to see
Always will be in my heart
Never shall we depart
