A Little Dog Angel

 

High up in the courts of heaven today 

a little dog angel waits;

with the other angels he will not play,

but she sits alone at the gates. 

"For I know my master will come" says she,

"and when he comes he will call for me." 



The other angels pass her by,

As they hurry toward the throne, 

And she watches them with a wistful eye,

as she sits at the gates alone. 

"But I know if I just wait patiently...

that someday my master will call for me." 



And her master, down on earth below, 

as he sits in his easy chair, forgets sometimes, 

and whispers low to the dog who is not there.

And the little dog angel cocks her ears,

and dreams that his master's voice she hears. 



And when at last her master waits 

outside in the dark and cold,

or the hand of death to open the door, 

that leads to those courts of gold,

she will hear a sound through the gathering dark, 

a little dog angel's bark.

My Sasha was a sassy cockerspaniel, I got her when I was 3 years old, Shes one of the two dogs Ive ever had, but we put my other dog maggie to sleep when I was 1 and a half..  Now that Im 17 and just put her to sleep, I realize that she was my everything, she cuddled next to me when I was sick, or if I was having a bad day, she was able to make it better by a her kisses.  Shes always been there, and I can never forget her...
