remembered dogs

remember how your dog would greet you
whenever you came home
no matter where you'd gone
or, how long he'd been alone

it will be like that in heaven
whenever we arrive
the dogs we loved, will know we're there

like when we were alive

they'll greet us with such joy

saint peter will have to wait

but he too, will rejoice

with his dog beside that gate

                                                              

to make sure that you arrive

you don't have to travel far,
just try to be the person 

that your dog believes you are
