A SPECIAL PLACE

You have a special place Dear Lord
that I know you’ll always keep
A special place reserved for dogs
when they quietly fall asleep
With large and airy kennels
And a yard for hiding bones
With maybe a little babbling creek
That chatter over stones.
With wide green parks and flowers
for those who never knew
about running freely under
Your sky of perfect blue.
Lord, I know You keep this Special Place
And so to you I Pray,
For our VERY Special Girl
Who quietly died today
She was full of strength & love
and so very, very wise.
The puppy look she once had
has long since left her eyes.
She is dearly missed my Lord
and she was always mine.
She went to join her ancestors
To Your land that is Divine
So, speak to Dixie softly please
And give her a warm hello.
She’s a Special gift to you Dear Lord
From us, who loved her so.

 

Love with all my heart,
Dixie
