"A Border Collie Pup"
I will lend to you for a while,
A BC pup, God said,
For you to love him while he lives
and mourn him when he's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years,
or maybe two or three.
But will you, till I call him back,
take care of him for me.
He'll bring his charms to gladden you
and should his stay be brief,
you'll always have his memories
as solace for your grief.
I can not promise he will stay,
since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught below
I want this pup to learn.
I've looked the whole world over
in search of teachers true,
and from the folk that crowds life's land
I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love
Not think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to take my BC back again.
I fancied that I heard them say
"Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done"
For all the joys this BC will bring,
The rush of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness
we'll love him while we may
And for happiness we've known forever grateful stay.
But should you call him back
much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
and try to understand.
If, by our love, we've managed
your wishes to achieve,
In memory of him we loved,
to help us while we grieve.
When our faithful bundle
departs this world of strife,
We'll have yet another Border Collie
and love him all his life.
