We were given this poem when Alley passed away.. I wanted to share this w Momma. Our beautiful Cathy Michele passed away w cancer. Rest in Peace baby girl.
I wish someone had given little Jesus a dog as loyal and loving as mine
to sleep by his manger and gaze in his eyes and adore him for being devine.
As our Lord grew to manhood, His own faithful dog would have followed hime all through the day
while he preached to the crowds and made the sick well and knelt in the garden to pray.
It is sad to remember Christ went away to face death alone and apart, with no tender dog following close behind to comfort its Masters heart.
And when Jesus rose on that Easter morn, how happy he would have been
as his dog kissed his hand and barked its delight for the one who died for all men.
Well, the Lord has a dog now; I just sent him mine the old pal so dear to me.
And I smile through my tears on this first day alone, knowing they're in eternity.
