The Spirit of a GSP
I was standing on a hillside in a field of blowing wheat
And the spirit of my GSP appeared suddenly at my feet.
He looked at me with kind dark eyes, an ancient wisdom shining through

And in the essence of his being I saw his love for me, too.
His mind did lock upon my heart as I stood there on that day
Then he told me of this story about a place so far away.
I stood upon that hillside in a field of blowing wheat
And in a twinkling of a second his spirit left my feet.His tale put my heart at ease
My fears did fade away. He helped me know where he had gone
When he left us on that day.
"I live among God's creatures now in the heavens of your mind
So do not grieve for me, my friend as I am with my kind.
My collar is a rainbow's hue,
My leash a shooting star
My boundaries are the Milky Way
Where I sparkle from afar.
There are no pens or kennels here
For I am not confined
But free to roam God's heavensAmong my GSP kind.
I nap the day on a snowy cloud
Gentle breezes rocking me
And dream the dreams of earthlings
And how it used to be.
The trees are full of liver treats
And tennis balls abound
Chew bones line the walkways
Just waiting to be found.
There even is a ring set up
The grass all lush and green
And everyone who gaits around
Becomes the Best of Breed.
For we're all winners in this place
We have no faults, you see
And God passes out those ribbons
To each everyone, even me.
I drink from waters laced with gold
My world a beauty to behold
And wise old dogs do form my pride
To amble at my very side.
At night I sleep in an angel's arms
Her wings protecting me
And moonbeams dance about us
As stardust falls on thee.
You picture me as I was on earth
Just before I died
The pain is gone I am whole again
Filled with GSP pride.
So when your life on earth is spent
And you stand at Heaven's gate
Have no fear of loneliness
For here, you know I wait.
