I wish someone would tell me
What it is 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 pup
There were so many things we'd do
While I was growing up.
They couldn't wait to train me
As companion and as friend
They told me I need never fear
Being left alone again.
The children said they'd feed me
Said they'd brush me every day
They'd play with me and walk me
If only I could stay.
But now the family hasn't time
They often say I shed
They won't allow me in the house,
Not even to be fed.
The children never walk me
They always say "Not now!"
I wish that I could please tell them
Won't someone tell me how???
All I have is love, you see
I wish they would explain,
Why they said they wanted me
Then left me on a chain..........
