| IN MEMORY |
| "I'll lend you, for a little time, a dog of mine," He said "For you to love while he lives and mourn when he is dead. The years, they may be Six to ten, or even as few as three, But will you, 'til I call him back, take care of him for me?" "He'll bring his charms to gladden you and,shall his stay be brief, You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught down there I want this dog to learn." I've looked the wide world over in my search for masters true, And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you. Now will you give him your love, nor think the labour vain, Nor hate me when I come to call to take him back again." I fancied that I heard them say, 'Dear Lord, Thy will be done, for all the joy Thy dog shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter him with tenderness and love him while we may And for the happiness we'll know, we'll ever greatful stay' But shall the angels call for him much sooner than we planned, We'll know the bitter grief that comes........and try and understand. |
