A doggie prayer

I live among God's creatures now

In heavens of your mind.

So do not grieve for me, my friend

As I am with my kind.

 

My collar is a rainbow's hue,

My leash is a shooting star,

My boundaries are the milky way

Where I sparkle from afar.

 

There are no pens or kennels here

For I am not confined

But free to roam God's heavens

Among my shepherd kind.

 

I nap the day on a snowy cloud

And gentle breezes are rocking me.

I dream the dreams of earthing

And how it used to be.

 

The trees are full of liver treats

And tennis balls abound

And milkbones line the walking ways

Just waiting to be found.

 

There even is a ring set up,

The grass all lush and green

And everyone who gaits around

Becomes the "Best Of Breed".

 

 

For we're all winners in this place.

We have no faults you see

And God passes out the ribbons

To each one - even me.

 

I drink from waters laced with gold.

My world a beauty to behold

And wise old dogs do form my pride

To amble at my very side.

 

At night I sleep in an angel's arms,

Her wings protecting me

And moonbeams dance about us

As stardust falls on thee.

 

So when your life on earth is spent

And you reach heaven's gate

Have no fear of loneliness

For here, you know I wait.
