'' They  Trust You''   Please  Be Responsible







 Sig's By: SoftlyWhispers


"They trust you"Please be Responsible"


True and Sad

On my way home from work today I wanted to cry,

First I had to dodge a cat someone hit and left to die.

Not that it was actually their fault...I'm sure we all know,

It was the one who owned it ...and just let it go.

Or maybe someone dropped him off somewhere near ?

Was he sniffing his way back home in fear?

A little further on ,I saw a piece of cardboard
by the side of the road,

I had to stop for the light...then I saw the poor black
dog, lying underneath so still and cold.

Maybe the person that hit him actually took time to stop and
see if he was dead?

We know it wasn't their fault...it's the one
who let him loose,by then...I was seeing red.

I am sure these animals were trying to find their way home,

Why do people just turn them loose... and let them roam?

They can't fend for themselves out there all alone, and it's
just so sad,

Because these very pets would die to find their way home...
it makes me so mad.

They trust us to care for them and feed them every day,

They love us unconditionally...and look at the price some pay.

So please,make sure you're ready for that big responsibility,

Remember someday that special pet... will be a precious memory.
