Take one of us in and you'll never go kissless,
So long as you treat us as one of your own.

You will find
as you look back
upon your life
that the moments
when you have Truly Lived
are the moments
when you have done things
In the Spirit of Love.

One seed at a time and the garden grows One drop at a time and the river flows One word at a time and the book is read One stroke at a time and the paint is spread One chip at a time and the statue's unveiled One step at a time and the mountain is scaled One thing at a time and that done well Is the only sure way to succeed and excel.

To me our love is merely joy; To you it is your breath. I am the marker that must move; You, the fixed desire. You are what I most enjoy; I am life or death. And now you must be put to sleep, And I remain awake With years of love ahead of me, And many pets to go. But I'm the one who can't help weep While you, just for my sake, Come rest your chin upon my knee And beg to share my woe. Author ...

Brothers and sisters, I bid you beware Of giving your heart to a dog to tear. Buy a puppy and your money will buy Love unflinching that cannot lie- Perfect passion and worship fed By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head. Nevertheless it is ...

Where he decides the good and bad, the wrong way from the right, And where his judgement 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 ...

So happy are they not a care in the world As they wrestle and romp, pull tails that are curled. Noisy, like children, with their yaps and their howls. They pounce and bounce, even try viscous growls. Such innocence possessed by these bundles of energy Will stay through their lives as they trust so many. It won’t be long till they’ll have new homes With prayers they are loved, ...

Now man and beast they lived on a common bit of earth. Each specie thought the other of very little worth. One day there was a rumble, the earth began to quake. It gave a mighty shudder, and then began to break. A crack began to widen between the beasts and man. Some watched the crevasse deepen, ...

Climb the mountains and get their Good Tidings
Nature's Peace will flow into you
as Sunshine flows into Trees
The Winds will blow their own freshness into you
and the Storms their energy
While Cares will drop away from you
like the Leaves of Autumn.

As we walk our path of life, We meet people everyday. Most are simply met by chance. But, some are sent our way. These become special friends Whose bond we can't explain; The ones who understand us And share our joy and pain. Their love contains no boundaries. So, even we are apart. Their presence enhances us With a warmth felt in the heart. This love becomes a passageway, When even the miles disappear. And so, these friends, God sends our ...
