DREAMS OF THE PAST
SHANNON & RENO

A DOG'S PRAYER

Treat me kindly, my beloved master, for no heart in all the
world is more gratefull 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 if the worlds sweetest music,
as you must know by the fierce waging of my tail when your
footstep falls upon my waiting ear.
When it is cold and wet, please take me inside, for I am now
domesticated and no longer used to bitter elements.
I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet
beside the hearth.
Though had you no home, I would rather follow you through
ice and snow than rest upon the softest pillow in the warmest
home 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 if dry, I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.
Feed me clean food, that I may stay well, to romp and play
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.
And, beloved master, should the great Master see fit to deprive
me of my health or sight, so not turn me away from you.
Rather hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me
the merciful boon of eternal rest ~~ and I will leave you knowing
with the last breath I drew, my fate was ever safest in your
hands...
