Judyth Vary Baker Poet Epitaph

Dog

God, you gave
A dog to me,
And when she died—
(My best of friends)
Who, all Selfless, cared for me—
Who Lov-ed
Unconditionally,
I screamed.

O God!  You gave
A dog to me.
I deserved no such good thing!
And when she died
I howled, I wept
inconsolably.

For Suzi Q  Oct 19, 2009
She had a soul.  Where she is,
I hope to be accounted good enough to go.
