Poetry

Poetry is a way for people to express their

Feelings. It is a personal thing and

Hard to share.

I feel poetry is important in life, that it becomes

Part of our emotional being.

 

Oh, Oh, Loving God Who created them all,

From small creeping bugs to giraffes so tall.

Who in our care has placed your creatures I ask?

“Why is cruelty one of mans features?”
Forced to give us food and pull our carts, have we no pity for their broken hearts?
Science and Medicine are yet another tool,
for causing them pain and being so cruel.
And when the circus Comes to town,
do we see their tears when the curtain goes down?
Some people wear fur as they stroll through the city,
I think it's so heartless and not very pretty.

Deep in the woods, a place some call their home,
they run in great fear from the hunters that roam.
Their sad eyes show us there's no understanding,
Why man is indifferent and so very demanding!
They give up their lives they give us their best,
All they are asking Is a place just to rest.

And so, My Dear Lord I Pray unto You,
Save a place in Your Kingdom for the animals too.

(Ann Ketzlick)

 

A Dog's Prayer

(Author unknown)

Bless the house I live in, Lord,

The one that I call home,

The people here who really care

A family all my own.

~

Bless the little children

Who snuggle me to sleep

Their gentle eyes so sweet and wise

That laugh and sometimes weep.

~

Bless the mistress of this home,

A wife and loving mother-

She always gives me doggie treats

To me there is no other!

~

Bless the master, good and kind,

He calls me his best friend.

But, Oh, the names they give us, Lord!

''Killer?'' ''Boom Boom?'' ''Ben?''

~

No one will ever know

How I stopped to catch my breath

The day they saw me at the pound,

As I faced certain death.

~

I love my little family.

They're all the world to me.

You'd have to be a dog to know

How lucky I am, Me ...

~

A faithful dog will play with you,

And laugh with you -- or cry --

He'll gladly starve just to stay with You,

And never reason , Why ?

~

And when you're feeling out of sorts,

Somehow he'll understand.

He'll watch you with those shining eyes,

And try to lick your hand.

~

His blind, implicit faith in you

Is matched only by his love-

The kind that all of us should have

In the spirit up above.

~

When everything is said and done,

It is not really odd,

Because when you spell ''dog '' backwards,

You find the name of GOD..

A Dog is the only thing on Earth that loves you more than he loves himself.

It is not nice to be lost.

But it is nice to find someone along the way home..
