Spirit of a Doberman

I was standing on a hillside in a field pf blowing wheat
and the spirit of a Doberman was lying at my feet.
He looked at me with kind dark eyes
And ancient wisdom shinning through
And in the essence of his being I saw love there too.
His mind did lock upon my heart
As I stood there on that day
And he told me of this story
about a place so far away.
I stood upon that hillside
In a field of blowing wheat
And in a twinkling of a second
His spirit left my feet
His tale did put my heart at ease
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 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 free to roam God’s heavens
Among the Dobie 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 milkbones line the walkways
Just waiting to be found
There even is a ring set up
The grass all lush and green
Where even Rescue Dobermans
Become the Best of the Breed.
For we’re from waters laced with gold
My world a beauty to behold
And wise old dogs do 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
As stardust falls on thee.
So when your life on earth is spent
And you stand at Heaven’s gate
Please Have no fear of loneliness
For here, you know I wait.
