How Cold It Is Out Here
by Christine Macielak.........................................
|
How cold it is out here, the rain falling on me But colder still, are the faces I see They see me out here, they see my fear But they pass me by, both far and near I wish I could tell them I'm a sentient being I think and I feel and God gave my life meaning I'm meant to be by your side and to walk with you To be a friend and companion in all that you do I long for your friendship, the warmth of your home I can make it a place where you'll not be alone You think I'll just be a cat or dog in the way Making you busy and wasting your day But that's not the truth, no, not at all I'm more than just a scraggly furball I have given my health, been bred just to die Where my voice was taken so none heard my cry We've given and given, my kind and my kin So you could live well, with your medicine But you look at me now, with contempt and disdain Though I've supported your soldiers and shared in their pain I've fought in each war, and gave it my all With my comrades I fight, and with them I fall Today everywhere, in country and town I serve and protect, bringing crime down And make no mistake, I will give my life If a choice must be made, in a moment of strife I've been friend to the lowly, the homeless and kings With me, it is never an issue of things Possessions, position, don't matter to me It's the affectionate love in your eyes that I see And speaking of eyes, and ears and legs too I have been that you know, to more than a few It's a labor of love when the call comes to send Me to be helper, companion and friend I've brightened the days of the old and the widowed Encouraged and loved the mocked and belittled I've been the only one there to prevent the act That a desperate person can never take back It was I, yes I, who convinced them to stay Without a word, holding depression at bay I have done all these things, and so many more Now it's up to you to open your door And save me this time, from this suffering and hurt You'll never regret it Once you know my worth
