”The Spirit of a German Shepherd Dog

I was standing on a hillside,
in a field of blowing wheat

And the spirit of a German Shepherd Dog
was lying at my feet

He looked at me with kind dark eyes,
ancient wisdom shining through

And in the essence of his being
his love shone clear and true.

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.

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 for I am with my kind.”
