Every dog must have a soul
Somewhere deep inside
Where all his hurts
and grievances
Are buried with his pride.
Where he decides the
good and bad,
The wrong way
from the right.
And where his
judgment carefully
Is hidden from our sight.
A dog must have
a secret place
Where every thought abides,
A sort of close
acquaintance that
He trusts in and confides.
And when accused
unjustly for Himself,
He cannot speak,
Rebuked, He finds
within his soul
The comfort he must seek
He'll love, tho he
is unloved,
And he'll serve
tho badly used.
And one kind word
will wipe away
The times when
he's abused.
Altho his heart
may break in two
His love will still be whole,
Because God gave
to every dog
An understanding Soul!
