LACEY.
I THINK ONE DAY GOD LOOKED DOWN
FROM THE HEAVENS HIGH ABOVE
TO FIND FOR HIS SON – JESUS CHRIST
A DOG LIKE MINE TO LOVE.
HE SAID – “THE FUR MUST BE A GOLDEN BROWN
THE EYES TO BE BIG AND BRIGHT
THE NOSE MUST BE SHINEY AND BLACK
THE EARS MUST STAND JUST RIGHT.
THE FEET MUST BE SMALL AND COMPACT
THE TAIL HELD HIGH AND PROUD
AND TO SCARE OFF ALL THAT’S EVIL
THE BARK MUST BE FIERCE AND LOUD.
IT MUST BE A VERY TINY DOG
TINY BUT VERY BOLD
BUT INSIDE THAT TINY BODY
MUST BEAT A HEART OF GOLD.”
WELL GOD SEARCHED AND SEARCHED FOR THIS SPECIAL DOG
HIS HOPES HE TOUGHT WERE HIGH
BUT THEN HE FOUND HER AT MY HOUSE
AS HE WAS PASSING BY.
HER NAME WAS LACEY – SHE WAS SMALL BUT BRAVE
THE DOG HE SAID WAS RIGHT
SO HE CAME ALONG AND TOOK HER FROM ME
ONE JANUARY NIGHT.
I BET SHE MAKES THE PERFECT ANGEL
WITH WINGS OF SILVER AND GOLD
AND I BET SHE MAKES THE PERFECT DOGGY
FOR GOD’S ONLY SON TO HOLD.
