I will lend to you for awhile a puppy, God said, For you to love her while she lives and to mourn for her when she is gone. Maybe for 12 or 14 years, or maybe for 2 or 3 But will you, till I call her back take care of her for me? She’ll bring her charms to gladden you and (should her stay be brief) you’ll always have her memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise that she 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 fold that crowd life’s land I have chosen you. Now will you give her all your love Nor think the labor vain, nor hate me when I come to take my pup back again? I fancied that I heard them say, “Dear Lord, They Will Be Done,” For all the joys this pup will bring the risk of grief you’ll run. Will you shelter her with tenderness, Will you love her while you may? And for the happiness you’ll know forever grateful stay? But should I call her back much sooner than you’ve planned, please brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand. If, by your love, you’ve managed my wishes to achieve, In memory of her that you’ve loved, cherish every moment with your faithful bundle, and know she loved you too.
