A SHEPHERD's PRAYER
A SHEPHERD'S PRAYER
I live among God's creatures now
In heavens of your mind
So
do not grieve for me, my friend
As I am with my kind.
My collar is a rainbow's hue
My leash is a shooting
star
My boundaries are the milky way
Where I sparkle from afar.
There are no pens or kennels here
For
I am not confined
But free to roam God's heavens
Among my shepherd kind.
I nap the day on a snowy cloud
And
gentle breezes are rocking me
I dream the dreams of earthing
And how it used to be.
The trees are full
of liver treats
And tennis balls abound
And milkbones line the walking ways
Just waiting to be found.
There
even is a ring set up
The grass all lush and green
And everyone who gaits around
Becomes the "Best Of Breed".
For
we're all winners in this place
We have no faults you see
And God passes out the ribbons
To each one--even me.
I
drink from waters laced with gold
My world a beauty to behold
And wise old dogs do form my pride
To amble at my very
side.
At night I sleep in an angel's arms
Her wings protecting me
And moonbeams dance about us
As stardust
falls on thee.
So when your life on earth is spent
And you reach heaven's gate
Have no fear of loneliness
For
here, you know I wait.
