I was standing on a
hillside
In a field of blowing wheat
And the spirit of a shepherd dog
Was lying at my feet.
He looked at me with
dark kind eyes
An ancient wisdom shining through
And in the essence of his being
I saw love there too.
His mind did lock upon
my heart
As I stood there on that day
And he told me of this story
About a place so far away
I stood upon that
hillside
In a field of blowing wheat
And in a twinkling of a second
His spirit left my feet.
His tale did put my
heart at ease
My fears did fade away
About what lay ahead of me
On another distant day
I live among God's
creatures now
In the heavens of your mind
So do not grieve for me, my friend
As I am with my kind
My collar is a
rainbow's hue
My leash a shooting star
My boundaries are the Milky Way
Where I sparkle from afar
There are no pens or
kennels here
For I am not confined
But free to roam God's heavens
Among my shepherd kind
I nap the day on a
snowy cloud
Gentle breezes rocking me
And dream the dreams of earthlings
And how it used to be
The trees are full of
liver treats
And tennis balls abound
And Milkbones line the walkways
Just waiting to be found
There even is a ring
set up
The grass all lush and green
And everyone who gaits around
Becomes the Best of Breed
For we're all winners
in this place
We have no faults you see
And God passes out those ribbons
To each one, even me
I drink from waters
laced with gold
My world a beauty to behold
And wise old dogs do form my pride
To amble at my very side
At night I sleep in an
angel's arms
Her wings protecting me
And moonbeams dance about us
As stardust falls on thee
So when your life on
Earth is spent
And you stand at Heaven's gate
Have no fear of loneliness
For here, you know I wait. |
