...Found this poem online today and thought of you.<br /><br />I will lend to you for awhile<br />a puppy, God said,<br />For you to love him while he lives<br />and to mourn for him when he is gone.<br />Maybe for twelve or fourteen years,<br />or maybe for two or three<br />But will you, till I call him back<br />take care of him for me?<br />He'll bring his charms to gladden you<br />and (should his stay be brief)<br />you'll always have his memories<br />as solace for your grief.<br />I cannot promise that he will stay,<br />since all from earth return,<br />But there are lessons taught below<br />I want this pup to learn.<br />I've looked the whole world over<br />in search of teachers true<br />And from the folk that crowd life's land<br />I have chosen you.<br />Now will you give him all your love<br />Nor think the labour vain<br />Nor hate me when I come to take my pup back again.<br />I fancied that I heard them say<br />"Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done,"<br />For all the joys this pup will bring,<br />the risk of grief you'll run.<br />Will you shelter him with tenderness<br />Will you love him while you may<br />And for the happiness you'll know forever grateful stay.<br />But should I call him back<br />much sooner than you've planned<br />Please brave the bitter grief that comes<br />and try to understand.<br />If, by your love, you've managed<br />my wishes to achieve,<br />In memory of him that you've loved,<br />cherish every moment with your faithful bundle,<br />and know he loved you too.<br /><br /><br /><br />Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17522292872448369996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5663318040255442389.post-10771268683769785582013-01-02T10:27:55.581-05:002013-01-02T10:27:55.581-05:00Life does have a way of balancing out, doesn't...Life does have a way of balancing out, doesn't it? My brother-in-law toasted that he wanted less problems in 2013 and I said it wasn't less problems we needed but positive resolutions to the problems. Hope you have positive resolutions in 2013.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17522292872448369996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5663318040255442389.post-1234088249150324652013-01-01T18:42:23.559-05:002013-01-01T18:42:23.559-05:00I love the blog.
