Janet has had all types of animals as pets. When she felt that she couldn't talk to anyone, her pets were always there. Always good listeners, never judgemental, and always loyal. She used them as a medium to express herself to God.

The following are lyrics from Janet's song GOD'S STEPCHILD**. I'm sure that many of you will be able to relate to the feeling of loneliness she felt. However, as you'll see, there was a light at the end of the tunnel.

Gotta story for you
'Bout a little friend
Never felt good enough
Had a heart to mend
Never felt pretty
Learned to just pretend
Wished someone had listened
To her cries of pain

Maybe I'm the lucky one
Maybe the forgotten one
Maybe, but I know
I'm not God's stepchild

Didn't want to burden
Mother had enough stress
So often I'd talk to you
Through my four legged friends
Always there to listen
Though I felt so all alone
And in my times of trouble
I know you saw my smile of pain

Now that I am older
Gone through so much pain
I learned that I should love me
No more feeling ashamed
I've seen the great illusions
I've seen the rough terrain
I've walked through my own journey
And my love for you remains

I know that I'm the lucky one
I know I'm a special one
I know that God does
Not have a stepchild
