MEMBER OF THE FAMILY - CATS & DOG POEMS

"Guardian angels have been sent
To protect us from any harm,
And to teach us about love and peace,
And keep our spirits calm"



Member of the Family

What would I do without you,
My precious, furry friend?
Part mischief, but all blessing,
And faithful to the end!

You look at me with eyes of love;
You never hold a grudge . . .
You think I'm far too wonderful
To criticize or judge.

It seems your greatest joy in life
Is being close to me . . .
I think God knew how comforting
Your warm, soft fur would be.

I know you think you're human,
But I'm glad it isn't true . . .
The world would be a nicer place
If folks were more like you!

A few short years are all we have;
One day we'll have to part . . .
But you, my pet, will always have
A place within my heart.

DOGS

When God had made the earth and sky,
the flowers and the trees,
He then made all the animals
the fish, the birds, and bees
and when at last He'd finished
not one was quite the same.

He said I'll walk this world of mine
and give each one a name.
And so He traveled far and wide
and everywhere He went,
a little creature followed Him
until it's strength was spent.

When all were named upon the Earth
and in the Sky and Sea,
the little creature said,
"Dear Lord, there's no name left for me."

Kindly the Father said to him
"I've left you to the end.
I've turned my own name back to front
and called you DOG, my friend".
