A Puppy Poem

Crossfire Bulldogs · 07-02-2005, 08:19 PM

A poem that was sent to me today that I just loved. I'm not one to talk religon and typically do not bring "God" into my conversations but thought this was a really sweet poem. It made me think especially about my Bulldogs and their shorter life span, my rescues, my very first puppy, the passing of my Gabby, of her father AJ, Cool Dog and most recently Renegade.

Even with all things considered I wouldn't have passed on the chance to have them in my life. The length of time isn't as important as the special time and love all our pets have with us! Here it is.......

Why God Made Puppies

When I was a young girl and death stole my pet
It brought on a trauma I'd not soon forget
I hid in my room and no food would I take
I wondered if God hadn't made one mistake
He granted a puppy with whom I had grown
But gave her a life span far short of my own

Then when I matured, as if God had a plan
I soon settled down with a dog-loving man
We took in the homeless, the frail and the weak
We also converted the vicious to meek
I learned the Great Lesson is not years they bear
But strong bonds of trust and the love that you share

And so as we've journeyed down life's winding road
A number of puppies have shared our abode
Both large ones and small ones with long floppy ears
We've cherished the joys which were tempered with tears
And now as I thank God in Heaven above
I know He made puppies to teach us to love.

Awww... such a sweet poem!!

It's QUALITY time that's important, not the quantity. Though quantity and quality is nice together. :3 I hope to have many long years with my loves.
