A Dog's Prayer

Karen-Just bought this poem, entitled "A Dog's prayer" to hang above our bed. Just had to send it to you; we renamed it "Molly's Prayer", cause it so fits our Molly. Thought it also may fit a lot of other "adoptive families" and their relationship with their dogs. I know it fits several of my friends and neighbors. I guess until you have had a dog sleep in your bed, you probably can't relate. Once you have had your dog "take over" your bed and you think twice about disturbing them, you can totally relate.



A DOG'S PRAYER

NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP
THE KING-SIZE BED IS SOFT AND DEEP.
I SLEEP RIGHT IN THE CENTER GROOVE,
MY HUMAN BEING CAN HARDLY MOVE!
I'VE TRAPPED HER (HIS) LEGS, SHE'S (HE'S) TUCKED IN TIGHT, AND HERE IS WHERE I PASS THE NIGHT.
NO ONE DISTURBS ME OR DARES INTRUDE,
'TIL MORNING COMES AND "I WANT FOOD!"
I SNEAK UP SLOWLY TO BEGIN,
MY NIBBLES ON MY HUMAN'S CHIN.
SHE (HE) WAKES UP QUICKLY, I HAVE SHARP TEETH, I'M A DOGGY, DON'T YOU SEE?
FOR THE MORNING'S HERE AND IT'S TIME TO PLAY I ALWAYS SEEM TO GET MY WAY.
SO THANK YOU, LORD, FOR GIVING ME
THIS HUMAN PERSON THAT I SEE.
THE ONE WHO HUGS AND HOLDS ME TIGHT
AND SHARES HER (HIS) BED WITH ME AT NIGHT!
