DOBERMAN PRAYER

 I was standing on a Hillside

In a field of blowing wheat

and the spirit of a Doberman

Was lying at my feet.

She looked at me with kind dark eyes

An ancient wisdom shining through

And in the essence of her being

I saw love there too.

Her mind did lock upon my heart

As I stood there on that day

And she 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

Her spirit left my feet.

Her 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 the Dobie kind.

I nap the day on snowy clouds

Gentle breezes rocking Me

And dream the dream of earthlings

Of how it used to be.

The trees are full of liver treats

And tennis balls abound

Milk Bones line the walkways,

just waiting to be found.

There even is a ring setup

The grass all lush and green,

Where even Rescue Dobermans

Become the best of Breed.

For we're all winners in this place

We have no faults, you see.

And GOD passes out blue Ribbons

To each one, even Me.

I drink from waters laced with gold

My world is beauty to behold.

And wise old dogs do form my pride

To amble at my very side.

At night I sleep in 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

You stand at heaven's gate

Have no fear of loneliness,

For here, you know I wait.
