A Pet
A friend of course
A Pet
A comforter who sometimes sits on your lap
A Pet
A gift of God who doesn’t speak words
A Pet
Some being who does speak God’s love language
Some may say it is silly to be attached to your Pet
But then those are spoken by someone
Who hasn’t heard the bark at their arrival
Or the purr of an independent friend
Or seen a simple swimming motion
We live in a world that often misses nature
Too busy to notice
The gift of animalness
Our pets open us to life at a different level
One not based on earned love
One run by quick forgiveness
One which knows our feelings before we do
Does a Pet have an after life
How can it not
We remember them don’t we
Why wouldn’t God
Be kind to your Pet today
Before it has a chance to be kind to you
