I was standing on a
hillside
In a field
of blowing wheat
And the spirit of a German
Shepherd
Was lying
at my feet.
He
looked at me with kind dark 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."
