A devoted old  pet

Follows its master.

What mostly matters

Where e'er they walk,

E'en with small talk,

There is mutual respect.

The creatures of earth,

Who capture our  heart,

From the time of their birth

Is why  love seldom dies,

 After death does its part...

If eternity is spent in paradise.

When God, the master calleth

Special pets to the promised land,

Perhaps He'll open heaven's door

For dogs and cats and more,

To share the branch of olive~

With their fellow man.

This page is dedicated to our faithful dog, Koki
who will be 14 years old on April 20th.. We have
had her since she was a little puppy and we love her.

*An interesting footnote I didn't notice until after I wrote
my poetry for this page is that I used the words, what,  where,
who,  why  and when in my verses...We know who the master is and
 where eternity is, but will we know why and what we will be doing
 when he calls us to our final home?
