Every dog must have a soul
Somewhere deep inside
Where all his hurts and grievances
Are buried with his pride.
Where he decides the good and bad,
The wrong way from the right,
And where his judgement carefully
Is hidden from our sight.
A dog must have a secret place
Where every thought abides,
A sort of close acquaintance that
He trusts in and confides.
And when accused unjustly for
Himself, He cannot speak,
Rebuked, He finds within his soul
The comfort he must seek.
He'll love, tho'he is unloved,
And he'll serve tho'badly used,
And one kind word will wipe away
The times when he's abused.
Altho' his heart may break in two
His love will still be whole,
Because God gave to every dog
An understanding Soul!
I'll lend you for a little time a dog of mine" he said.
"For you to love while he lives and mourn for when he's dead".
It maybe six or seven years or maybe more than these, but will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charm to gladden you, and should his stay be brief, you’ll have his memories, as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return, but there are lessons taught down there, I want this dog to learn.
I've looked this wide world over, in my search for teachers true, and from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labour vain, nor hate me when I come to call, and take him back again?
I fancied that I heard them say "Dear Lord, thy will be done", for all the joy thy dog shall bring, for the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may, and for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him, we'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.
We knew little that morning that,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
The family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
Sleep tight and run free.
Lord, you have embraced our good friend and loving companion.
While we mourn what we have lost, we do celebrate what we had...
Thank you, Lord, for the joy this loved one gave us and for making it
possible for us to have made this friend's life a good one. ♥♥♥xXx♥♥♥
