For the Love of Dogs
© by C, E. Morrison, 2006
In our world of lonely, busy days,
We all need to have a friend.
Someone to share your life with,
Who’ll be beside you right till the end.
He greets you when you walk through the door,
Can’t wait until you are there!
His face and his tail-a dead giveaway,
Saying “Don’t you get it? I’m here and I care!”
His undying love and affection,
Is given 24 hours each day.
What he asks in return is simple,
A little food, your love and to play.
God surely knew what it meant,
To send us his creations to love.
Dogs are gifts to be treasured,
Sent directly from God up above.
Pups come in all shapes and sizes,
All colors, breeds and sounds.
From the tiniest of teacup terriers,
To the greatest of hunting hounds.
They all have one thing in common,
In our hearts we’re glad this is so.
Dogs are loyal and they love you
Much more than you’ll ever know.
So, when you count life’s blessings,
And you list them from bottom to top.
You’ll list family, friends and your job,
But that’s not where you should stop.
Remember to list that buddy you’ve got,
The one who listens but never tells.
The one who is loyal and there by your side,
Whether you praise him or you yell.
I don’t know what you do,
But I count my blessings every day.
I start with my beloved dogs,
Mr. Baxter and Miss Georgia Kaye.
