THE SPIRIT OF A SPANIEL

I was standing on a hillside in a field of blowing wheat,
And the spirit of a Spaniel was lying at my feet.

He looked at me with kind dark eyes, ancient wisdom shining through.

In the essence of his being, I saw such love there too.

His mind locked upon my heart, as I stood there on that day,

And he told me of this story about a place so far away.

As I stood upon that hillside, in a field... of blowing wheat,

In a twinkling of a second, his spirit left my feet.

His tale put my heart at ease; all my fears did fade away

About what lay ahead of me, on another distant day

"I live among God's creatures now, in the heavens of your mind

So do not grieve for me my friend, as I am with my kind

My collar is a rainbow's hue; my leash is a shooting star

My boundaries are the Milky Way, where I sparkle from afar

There are no pens or kennels here, for I am not confined

But I'm free to roam God's heavens, among the Spaniel kind

I nap the day on a snowy cloud, gentle breezes rocking me

And dream the dreams of earthlings and how it used to be

The trees are full of liver treats and tennis balls abound

And milk bones line the walkways, just waiting to be found

There is even a ring set up, the grass all lush and green

And everyone who gaits around becomes the Best of Breed

For we're all winners in this place; we have no faults, you see

And God passes out those ribbons, to each one, even me

I drink from waters laced with gold, my world a beauty to behold

And wise old dogs form my pride, to amble at my very side

At night I sleep in an angel's arms, her wings protecting me

And moonbeams dance about us, just as stardust falls on thee

So when your life on earth is spent and you stand at Heaven's gate

Have no fear of loneliness ~ for here, you know, I wait”.
