| I was standing on a hillside
In a field of blowing wheat And the spirit of a Dog Was lying at my feet. She looked at me with kind dark eyes An ancient wisdom shining through And in the essence of her being I saw a love there too. Her mind did lock upon my heart As I stood there on that day And she told me of this story About a place so far away. I stood upon that hillside In a field of blowing wheat And in a twinkling of a second Her spirit left my feet. Her tale did put my heart at ease My fears did fade away About what lay ahead of me On another distant day. "I live among God's creatures now In the 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 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 canine kind. I nap the day on a snowy cloud Gentle breezes rocking me And dream the dreams of earthlings And how it used to be. The trees are full of liver treats And tennis balls abound And Milkbones line the walkways 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 those ribbons To each one, even me. I drink from waters laced with gold My world is 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 stand at Heaven's gate Have no fear of loneliness For here, you know I wait. |
