Last one. ~Carol A Dog's Prayer
Treat me kindly, my beloved master, for no heart in all the world is More grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me. Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand Between the blows, your patience and understanding will more Quickly teach me the things you would have me do. Speak to me often, for your voice is the worlds sweetest music, as You must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footsteps Falls upon my waiting ear. In all the land, for you are my god and I am your devoted worshiper. In all the land, for you are my god and I am your devoted worshiper. Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although I should not Reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst. Feed Me clean food, that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your Bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready, willing and able to Protect you with my life should your life be in danger. Gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me the merciful boon of my Fate was ever safest in your hands. Eternal rest - and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew, My fate was ever safest in your hands. ~Beth Norman Harris
