Care for a Friend

Please care for a friend –
find a home, help him mend.
Has a gear of gold
has to move – he’s told.
find a place, a nice new home
where people care – he can roam.
His eyes are lonely, can’t you see
just wants love, somewhere to be.
Holds no grudges, has a happy heart
looking for a family, a brand new start.
Care for your friend, anyway you can
a helping hand, a ride in a van.
Just a warm wish, tossed his way
may be all he needs to make his day.
