Dear Jesus

Thank you for my puppy. She never yells or leaves She is always there for me to sit, or play, or just to be as if she knows my needs. You knew that I would need her for these lonely, angry days to clutch and cry into her fur outside with the blue bird while inside, their voices raise. Why does he have to be so mean? It’s not her fault; she did no wrong! He says he loves You, so make him see what he’s doing to our family. He hasn’t been with us that long! He listens to You, God make him hear make them stop, make them love; close his mouth and open his mind, eyes, and ears You’ve done it before, (please) do it here make them like my puppy dog.

Wow, Thank you! Yes, too often a child is forced to seek refuge outside of his/her family members.

Thanks SKAT, He certainly does! I wrote this poem for the contest "Prayertime Memories." Jesus was very near during my tumultuous childhood. And thanks for your warm welcome!
