God Blessed Us
I'll lend you, for a little while,
My grandest pup," He said.
For you to love while he's alive
And mourn for when he's dead.
It may be one or fifteen years,
Or days or months, you see.
But, will you, till I take him back,
Take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you,
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have treasured memories
To bring solace in your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return.
But, there are lessons taught on earth
I want this dog to learn.
I've looked the wide world over
In my search for teachers true.
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes
With trust, I have selected you.
Now will you give him your total love,
Not think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come
To take him back again?
I know you'll give him tenderness
And love will bloom each day.
And for the happiness you've known
Forever grateful stay.
But should I come and call for him
Much sooner than you'd planned,
You'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And someday understand.

On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please.
Never say you can't bear to watch.
Don 't make me face this alone.
Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.
