Killer by Nancy

In Memory of “Killer”

My furry child has moved on to a better place.
He is now with God enjoying his goodness and grace.

“A Pet’s Prayer to Saint Peter”

I have traveled far to reach this Pearly Gate
But I do not want to wander beyond this place.
I just need to rest awhile for my friend I wait.

Please let them know I love them still.
Let them know that I understand
What they did they did with love.
With my body gone my spirit flew
On the wings of a dove
To my Creator’s Heaven above.

Now I ask that I may wait.
I will lay quietly here by the gate.
For if I entered now without my friend
It wouldn’t be Heaven at all.

“Pets Prayer”
Also known as “A Dog’s Prayer”

Treat me kindly my beloved master for no heart in the world is more grateful for kindness than mine. Do not break my spirit with a stick for although I should lick your hand between blows your patience and understanding will teach me more quickly the things you would have me do.

Speak to me often for your voices are the worldÆs sweetest music as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when I hear your step. When the weather is cold and wet please take me inside for I am a domesticated animal no longer used to bitter elements and I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet.

Keep my pan filled with fresh water for although I should not reproach you were it dry I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst. Feed me clean food so that I may stay well to romp and play and do your bidding to walk by your side standing ready to protect you with my life should your life be in danger.

And master when I am very old and the Greatest Master sees fit to deprive me of my health and sight do not turn me away,rather see that my trusting life is gently taken away and I shall leave you knowing with the last breath I draw my fate was always safest in your hands. Amen.

You will live in my heart forever.
