A Spirit Free by Kathleen Higham How I sometimes loathe the trip Taking the dog to the Vet A quivering little ball of fur Fear has gripped my pet. Waiting for the Doctor to come I groaned at the thought of the bill She opened the door, I forgot Even the dog became still. She certainly was not the norm When her smile graced my eyes Then a gentle hand reaching out I was completely mesmerized. There was a quiet elegance With the look of a spirit free Jewelry dangled from her neck A reassuring voice came to me. I felt a total trust in her My little dog she would mend And I knew in that moment That my God was her friend. I shared a story with her Of an old kitty that had died Her tears took me by surprise I believe this woman cried. My heart marveled at the sight Even though there was no sound A place where only she can go Where animals thoughts are found. She asked me about Heaven If I believed we'd all go there I told her God was faithful That always He would care. Oh She was absolutely beautiful And charming as she could be For God has truly gifted her The Doctor, a spirit free. |
