RESCUERS PRAYER
Now I lay me down to rest
I pray my soul can stand this test
Of watching critters lose their homes
While owners gripe and cry and moan
I long for strength of spirit that
They'll forever find a loving heart
I can't do much, but it's a start
Spare me from the owner's pleas
About the baby's allergies
Or how they're moving out of state
Or spitefulness 'tween cat and mate
Please keep me sane while dealing with
The woman who bought it as a gift
A wriggling tiny ball of fluff
That now is playing way too rough
Remind me I should bite my lip
When confronted with "he grew too quick"
"I didn't know he'd get so large"
"He seems to think that he's in charge"
Protect my heart when I hear them say "I think we'll breed our cat one day"
Sometimes I think it'll break in two
Each day brings trials harsh and new
And if I die before I wake I pray one hopeless soul you'll take,
My tears are gone, my faith is bare
Lord... please hear my rescue prayer
