LOTUS AND ME

Hosted by www.Geocities.ws

I'll never be lonely again,
While my buddy is close to me,
With colors of brown blending into light gold
How lucky can one person be?



Did you send him to me, God?
When you saw the lost look in my eyes?
Did you think I needed relief
so you sent him to me in disguise?



Did you tell him to follow my every move
To get in every lick that he could?
To welcome me home like I'd been gone for a week
When I'd gone to the corner for food?



Did you think that I'd tire from caring for him
When he was sick and not feeling good?
Why..I even cleaned his sweet little bum
And did everything else that I could.



Such a sweet little fella'
Nothing dumb about him,
Always eager to play with myself or with Jim.



A bundle of fur curled up on my bed
His soft snores filling the space,
His deep muffled growl to wake me at dawn
A gentle lick placed on my face.



You know God, I love him so awfully much,
And I thank You for that day
When you whispered "Your Mom needs him"in my daughters ear
And she quickly hastened to obey.



Do you watch when he takes me for a walk?
Do you see the love in his eyes?
The excitement when he's given a treat
And his sadness when I say my goodbyes.



The bond between us is so very strong
It will always be that way,
For where on this earth could I find such love?
A love that will forever stay.




I love you, Lotie
