annonymous poet's poem

I loved this poem it was forwarded to me by a friend I want ed to share it with every one. copyrighted 2007 annonymous

I can not promise she will stay,

Since all from earth return.

But there are lessons taught on earth

I want this pup to learn.

I've looked the wide world over

In my search for teachers true.

And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes

With trust, I have selected you.

Now will you give her your total love?

Nor think that labor vane,

Nor hate me when I come

to take her home again?

I know you will give her tenderness

and love will bloom each day

and for the happiness you have known

forever grateful stay.

But should I come and call for her

much sooner then you'd planned

You'll brave the bitter grief that comes

and someday understand.
