God Spelled Backwards

It’s no coincidence that the word God spelled backwards is a word that we all know for something by which we are often awed - a creature, which unfailingly, can show amazing grace toward any one of us! Our canine friend does not care how we dress or if we’re rich or poor. He makes no fuss when we do not endeavor to impress the way we do among our human kind! Love without judgment from this animal is like that of our Christ, whose love is blind to flaws and won’t desert us when we fall. This facet of God’s love is what I see when my sweet dog’s brown eyes watch over me. Finally entering this poem i wrote for Deb's contest. I don't recall the theme being exactly the way it is now described at the contest page, but I will enter this one anyway, for what it's worth!

It's a poem where love is shown for what it is...giving without expecting anything in return (but then we realize that we are also getting things in return!!) // congrats for a worthy win Andrea. :) // paul

What a beautiful poem on unconditional love. Dogs are special creatures and it would be nice if we acted like them a little more once in a while. I think the world might be a better place.
