Winter Is Not Forever

As pet dog in the Tropics
Blessed am I by God to enjoy life
Clothed with two seasons:
Dry or summer months, and wet or rainy days…

Exposed to this goodness
Freely I’m exempted from Winter blight
Grief of cold weather I haven’t experienced
Happy always for great adventure…

I wish you well, fellow puppies, in the Northern Hemisphere
Just bear in mind that “Winter is not forever”
Kindness of the Sovereign has planned it so
Live with your climate by the grace of the Almighty…

Maximize adventures that Winter offers
Never lose hope* since another season is near
Opening avenues for greater pursuits
Press on still, and grow to be your owners’ pride...

Quietly wait for your time to scamper outside with delight
Ready yourselves to behold blooming wonders  
Stay serene while snuggling in your comfort zones
Temperature will soon tell that now is Spring time! 

*Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
