My angel gracie

I look at my angel and i wonder how?
someone left her to die on the streets
if they saw my baby, my darling now
would their mistakes make them weep?

she had but a virus that took only meds
but to them it meant her death
i don't know what was going on in their heads
when they abandoned her for a new pet

she sat on the corner pitifully crying
so i went over and picked her up
why did they give up? she wasn't dying
the poor thing just needed some love

i took her home gave her fresh food and water
and took her the vet the next day
she became my heart, my love, like a daughter
though an animal she'll never be thrown away

five months later and she's healthy as can be
it took little money or time
i don't understand how people could kicked her to the street
when now she plays, and purrs and climbs

how could they put a price on her life?
she has a brain, a personality, and a heart
to do such a thing just isn't right
how on earth could they think it was smart?
