I am God's Dog

I would be God's Dog,
and pray He call me Lucky.
His faithful pet,
His beloved creature of good faith.
Trained and tamed to His Will only.

I would be God's dog,
The guardian of His Children
and the object of their hearts' joy.

I bark in the night
as they slumber'
lest the thief of faith
steal their dreams.

I bark in the dark
like thunder
lest they forget the pet of their father
and the Keeper of His Themes.



I would eat but the crumbs
from their table,
in the Hall of the Wedding Feast.
In spite of those who my voice would disable,
those who would sleep with that beast.

I wag my TALE enjoyed,
and abandoned, myself analloyed-
My heart refined
to Master's Will.

He has called me Lucky.
His Will be done,
not mine.

His Gold refined, defined,
unalloyed and pure-

in my HEART.
