a prayer for dogs

I came across this in a book, thought it was nice.

Is there a country,Lord, where thou dost keep
A place reserved for dogs that fall asleep,
Large airy kennels, yards for hiding bones,
A little river chattering over the stones,
And wide green fields for those that never knew,
A smoky town, an old, worn rug or two,
Before a fire, where sparks don't fly out
Sparks are such nasty things to have about,
I like to think there is, and so I pray
For one nice dog that died today,
He was so full of fun, not very wise,
the puppy look still in his eyes,
But he was very dear, he'd come to me,
and rest his soft chin upon my knee,
Thou knowest him, not long ago,
he tramped with me across the snow
and there beyond the woods so still,
we met thee walking on the hill,
Lord keep him safe, wherever he may be
and let him always have a thought of me,
that I may hear when I pass the dark
Thy soothing voice, and a friendly bark.

Just read this and got to rush to work and now have tears in my eyes!!!
