Alone On A Chain
by Debbie Potts
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 Beagle pup.
There were so many things we'd do as a family, while I was growing up.
They couldn't wait to train me, as a companion, hunter, and a friend.
And told me how I should never fear, about being left alone again.
The children said they'd feed me, and brush me everyday.
They'd play, walk, and run me, if I could only stay.
But now my family "hasn't time," they often say I shed.
They do not even want me in the house, not even to be fed.
The children never spend time with me, they always say "Not now!"
I wish that I could please my family, won't someone tell me how?
You see, all I've ever had to give -- was LOVE, now I wish they would explain,
why they said they wanted me, then left me alone on a chain?
