"Thorns may hurt you,
men desert you,
sunlight turn to fog;
but you're never friendless ever,
but you're never friendless ever,
if you have a dog."

When I Got My New Dog
ReplyDeleteI asked for strength that I might rear her perfectly; I was given weakness
that I might feed her more treats.
I asked for good health that I might rest easy; I was given a "special
needs" dog that I might know nurturing.
I asked for an obedient dog that I might feel proud; I was given
stubbornness that I might feel humble.
I asked for compliance that I might feel masterful; I was given a clown
that I might laugh.
I asked for a companion that I might not feel lonely; I was given a best
friend that I would feel loved.
I got nothing I asked for, But everything that I needed.
