| As streaks of light paint the blackened sky
My 8th day dawns – my day to die
The smell of fear pervades this place
I feel the chill of Death’s embrace
A grasper hangs on padlocked door
They don’t know me – they must be sure
That I won’t fight when my time comes
That I won’t bite – that I won’t run
But I’m gentle Jack who lived to please
Who’s due to die this Christmas Eve
I’m gentle Jack who tho’ in strife
Would never bite to save my life
I’m gentle Jack whose owner died
And they had to drag me from their side
I will always be their faithful friend
My love for them will never end
I’m gentle Jack who cried their tears
And knew their inner hopes and fears
Who enriched their lives and shared their fun
Our loving hearts that beat as one
I’m gentle Jack who loved soft toys
And frolicked with the girls and boys
Who hid their socks and shared their toast
My daily walk - I loved the most
I’m gentle Jack with eyes so bright
They shone like emeralds in the night
Who ran the wind and swam the sea
And fetched a ball with wanton glee
But now I’m just another stray
That has no worth who’s had his day
There’s been no time to learn my ways
The pound is full so I can’t stay.
Of your caring heart I do implore
Stop Death coming through this door
Please don’t let my last day be
Held by a stranger injecting me
With Death’s needle in my leg
I have no chance to plead or beg
Put to sleep without a name
Because no-one cared and no-one came
What a tragic shameful waste
My healthy life destroyed in haste
I have no say, I have no voice
Only YOU can make that choice
Help me now – it’s not too late
Stop this wrong and change my fate
I‘m gentle Jack with much to give
For pity’s sake please help me live
Please send a Rescue to stop this pain
And make sure I don’t die in vain
Someone who will make it right
Mend my world and hold me tight
I want to love, I want to live
I want to play, I want to give
I want to know a loving home
I want my name and to be known
So finally - my desperate plea
Won’t you please come rescue me?
If no-one comes it’ll be too late
I can be saved if you choose to DONATE |
