The Dream

As I walked Heaven's streets of gold,
a friendly soul greeted me with a big hug.

Though my heart jumped at meeting an old friend,
I couldn't quite recognize who it was.

I said, "You seem so familiar -- how do I know you?"

Came the reply,
"On Earth, I was your dog.

Thank you for welcoming me into your family,
and for doing your best to make my life
happy, healthy, safe and secure.

Thank you for the thousand ways that you
showed me how much you loved me.

Thank you for always taking care of me,
and forgiving all of my mistakes.

God put my life in your hands
to bless you,
and to teach you many important lessons.

You did a great job taking care of me
and learning those lessons.
