Grace
Stone
hard, ice cold floors
Similar
to my heart
When
I hear them slam the doors
It
tears me apart
It's
hard being me right now
I
have hours upon hours to dwell
When
all I wonder is ...how?
How
I fell
I
need to do something to pass the time
I'm
eligible for this program they say
Where
I won’t be judged for my crime
I
am now in charge of a dog all day
Her
name is Grace
I'm
glad they gave her to me
It's
nice to always see her face
We
might be in a prison but she always seems…free!
I've
trained her so long
She
has become so smart
And
grown so strong
She
could win anyone’s heart!
Todays
the day she leaves me
She
has become the stronghold I needed and I love her so
I
hand her over to her blind owner Paislee
It's
painstakingly hard to let her go
Watching
her walk away
Made
me feel worth something
And
let me know one day
My
past is no longer going to keep me running
Not much
longer till’ I’m out
I really
miss the companionship
I just sit
around and pout…
We were
inseparable, bound by the hip
Would
Grace be happy with my actions?
No,
she would want me to be proactive
I
realized this part of my life is just pictures and they need captions
So
I can’t sit here and mope I have to live
Paislee
called me today... I thought it was a trick!
She said
“Thank you, you’ve changed my life”
That hit
me like a ton of bricks
And I knew
then I wanted to get home to my wife
Grace
saved me
The
program fixed me
The work
helped me
Because of
it all I have ...changed!
