Free to a Good Home
I am a dog
I have been kicked
I have been beaten with sticks
I have been called names
I wasn’t the cute pup
I was an ugly dog
I bear scars inside and out
No one wanted me
I tried to love you
You shoved me away
If you try to pet me
I just might bite you
I don’t mean to
I don’t want to
But that’s all I know
If you are patient
If you are kind
You will win my love
And I will be the best friend you could ever have.
