Angel Dog

There is no sadness you will ever see as when a little child loses their puppy Life can be harsh and miracles few but prayers of a boy heard and grew Davy still cries himself to sleep it has been over a week now Get another puppy? Never can't hurt him again All the pain he suffers losing his furry friend. Stairs are hard for a little puppy to climb but Buster he muster each step determine mind That bright light above glowing with such love Knew master Davy was there and it was fine Davy put away Busters' little red ball playing fetch with him was all he could recall His little collar still new and dog tag shined prayers for his puppy filled his mind Finally the last step bottoms up scurry wagging tail happy pup Barking for Davy but the place fenced in a pearly doggy door locked blocking him Davy son we know you miss Buster... Out of nowhere but who did appear an old hound dog with a solemn stare Petee the watchdog, Son you can't go in for your collar and tag are not up here Buster was fluster, I got to get in for master Davy he is my best friend I got to see him it is time to play please mister Petee don't send me away Sorry son for you the door is closed Buster at this his tenderness exposed he whimpered and whined looking down Now hold on boy a loop hole I found Being so young will Mercy me not much bad of you could there be back to earth we can let you go not quite yourself but as an angel though What is an angel it does not ring son you'll be a puppy with wings Now think of Davy cry out and yelp trust your heart without a doubt Lift your spirit and leap flap your wings soaring deep Back to earth and Davy your friend off you go prayers we're answering The sadness in Davy wouldn't depart for little Buster was deep in his heart Exhausted he cried himself to sleep dreaming of Buster of memories to keep Davy awaken by puppy kisses of all things Buster on his chest flapping his wings How? Who? What? Davy did not care he hugged Buster shedding happy tears So Buster was back Angel dog indeed he could fly and swirl around as he pleased Davy playing catch threw the ball up too high no problem for Buster for now he flies A miracle, prayers answered? no one questioned at all for the Davy and his Angel dog was what they saw With hearts that are pure can somehow transcend for miracles do happen blessed by Heaven.
