My Angel Dog
Soft, warm eyes caressed my soul
With a gentleness that would thrive
When I took the time to look into them
Where so much love and joy abounded
Such tenderness surrounded me as I
Allowed this intimacy to fill my heart
And guide my thoughts to a heavenly
Place of grace, where goodness would
Remain, even in the worst sort of pain
~~~
All too soon, my canine friend, my angel
From the hand of One who must have known
I needed a treasure to stay by my side
Always aware of my needs and my dreams
Willing to give to me all of its kind heart
With feelings that seem to make prayers
Bleed from the veins of those who know
This placid spirit will leave this earth
Bounding across the light that separates
The heavens from us, who will always seek
To know the love inspired by this one friend
Who, in spite of darkening the days with death
Will forever be alive, a welcome light, secreted
Deep within the soul who loves completely
~~~
Those soft, warm eyes still caress my soul
From the heavens where I know God alone
Feels the adoration of this gentle friend’s devotion
~~~
Love like this will forever be a part of my heart!
