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. ~author unknown~
