A Dog's Winter Prayer

Dear Lord

When there's snow on the ground

And we run out to play

When we're bouncing around

And barking "Hooray"!

Or chasing kids' sleds

Way up on the hill

Paws and bellies get wet

In this harsh winter chill.

But a personal problem

We find in this snow

Is where oh where

Did our green grass go?

We find we have to "Go"

But you know

that we don't like

to make "yellow" snow.

We scratch we sniff then circle about

But things it seems

Don't always work out.

Does your dog share our tale of woe?

Where did our green grass go?

Please bless us Lord

And melt the snow.

Thank you and Amen.
