Posted: Fri Mar 14, 2008 7:51 pm Post subject: A poem for a dog |
|
|
Is there a country Lord, where thou dost keep,
A place reserved for dogs that fall asleep,
Large airy kennels, yards for hiding bones,
A little river chattering over stones.
And wide green fields for those that never knew,
A smoky town, an old worn rug or two,
Before a fire where sparks don't fly out,
Sparks are such nasty thing to have about.
I'd like to think there is, and so I pray,
For one small dog that died today,
He was so full of fun, not very wise,
The puppy look still lingered in his eyes,
But he was very dear, he'd come to me,
And rest his chin upon my knee.
Thou knowest him, one night not long ago,
He tramped with me across the snow,
And there, beyond the woods peaceful and still,
We met thee walking on the moonlit hill.
Lord keep him safe, wherever he may be,
And let him always have a thought of me,
That I may hear, when I pass through the dark,
Thy soothing voice, and a friendly bark. _________________ You only live once, so get it right the first time |
