God's Christmas Gift To Me
Copyright Alice E. Steimle - 2003
Early in December, around Christmas day
God sent a present, he came my way
A tiny little puppy was looking to be found
He nestled under a tree, staying close to the ground

Crying for his Mama, he was just plain lost
I couldn't stand him whinning, or how much he'd cost
I brought him in to the house, he joined the happy three
He had to be  introduced to Cowboy, Buffy and me
Nobody came to claim him, so that made him mine
He continued to stay with me all of the time
I considered him a gift from God near Christmas Day
I wondered why He sent this dog, but I could only pray

That seems so long ago, he came from nowhere
Cowboy gave him a name, simply Bear
He was so attentive, as he'd nod his head
While Buffy slept near Cowboy, Bear stay with me instead
Now Bear he's a learning I must admit he's fast
The love we share between us sure will last
Now he's 7 mos. and weighing 63 pounds
He sure is curious, cause he makes his rounds

Yesterday we had to take him to the Vet
He was being fixed, the sorriest day he met
When I went to get him, his eyes looked very sad
Well, Bear will get over it and I'll be glad
Folks ask me what kind of dog is he
Then he slows that black tongue as he guards me
He's very protective, but on the other hand
He frolicks with folks, but he will understand

Now our simple family is rounded out to four
Buffy stays with Cowboy, Bear's by my feet on the floor
They watch over us, as faithful as can be
Once again you'll see we're a happy family
