MY NEW DOG
I asked for strength that I may rear her prefectly; I was given weakness that I may feed her more treats.
I asked for good health that I might rest easy; I was given a "special needs" dog that I might know nuturing.
I asked for an obedient dog that I might feel proud; I was given stubborness that I might feel humble.
I asked for compliance that I might feel masterful! I was given a clown that I might laugh.
I asked for a companion that I might not feel lonely; I was given a best friend that I would feel loved.
I got nothing I asked for, but everything I needed.

JUDGEMENT DAY
On Judgement Day Saint Peter stands, A list of virtues in his hands.As all the souls in silence wait.To see who'll pass through heaven's gate."You'll enter first," he says, "if youcan swear your heart was always true.And your were constant to the end,A steadfast, loyal, devoted friend.Never spiteful, never mean,Unchanging through good times and lean.With no desire but this: to beallowed to love enternally."And this is why Saint Peter's handThrows wide the heavenly portals, andWith wagging tails and shining eyesThe dogs walk into paradise.
