Heaven's Doggie Door
Submitted by Gayle

I thought a little poetry would be fun and also helpful to some:

My best friend closed his eyes last night.

As his head was in my hand.

The doctor said he was in pain

And it was hard for him to stand.

The thoughts that scurried through my head,

As I cradled him in my arms

Were of his younger puppy years

An oh his many charms.

Today there was not gentle nudge

With an intense "I love you gaze"

Only a heart that's filled with tears

Remembering our joy filled days.

But an angel just appeared to me

And he said "you should cry no more!"

GOD also loves our canine friends

He's installed a doggie door!
