Upon One Time

UPON ONE TIME A FRIEND

I'm just a dog abandoned alone
I never had much now everything's gone
Not my intention to cause the world pain
Being someone's dog was my hope to gain
I only wanted to be a friend
Now I travel a road without end
People ignore me or look with disdain 
This brings to me a heart filled with pain 
To humans I'm just a problem or trouble 
Since my presence intrudes on their bubble
I can be swept up and it's good riddance
No one cares it's not on their conscience.  
We are forgotten in this world we live in
But upon one time dogs were man's best friend
