Whether you be a dog or cat lover,
You need at least one,

Something to demand attention or hover.
I have shared several cats from birth till now,

I have shared several dogs too,
From birth till today around fifty something,wow.

That's my age, not cats and dogs,  7 cats and 5 of the others,
Felines and canines are best of my friends,

(no offence) Closer than sisters, which I have none, and brothers.
Which I have one. Now back to the cats and dogs.
I do not know if they end up in heaven, I could spout or refute
theologically, but I do know this, how you treat them,
does not go unnoticed by the One who created them, so cute.

If they will be there on the Golden Ways where Diamonds are the norm,
if that is even up for debate, I think I would be
the one turned away from the gate, for missing the point, bad form.
He loves all of creation, and who is He to ask man for his advice?

Look at what we have done lately with fossil fuels and the price of rice!
Man is lost without God, like leaving a dog when you go out the door,
He gave us a beacon, 'cuz we need hope!
They wonder why you left without them and will you be back for sure.
It is not their lack of faith, it is not that they do not trust,
They just don't know if you'll come back!

How is it, God looks our way as we have sinned and fallen short, we are not pure,
But for Jesus, we cannot save ourselves, we need a Saviour,

Everybody needs one, sometimes they have fur, they always watch you
and rejoice, for the day you make the choice, and accept that you are human,

To accept that your best is what is tested, when you own a dog or a cat,
That He uses their eyes to not to watch you but measure your soul,

Angels are around and weave through time, owning a pet is a test, imagine that,
Have I ever sat at His feet like my dog has laid at mine...a price paid, no toll

Ever watch a cat go to the one who dislikes them the most?
Think if He said, He was showing up as Father, Son and Holy Ghost?
Would you go?

Life by God, is more than what you see with your two eyes,
For it starts with awe of the beauty and the wonder in complexity,
then the Unseen, goes way beyond simplicity!

Everybody needs time, which God bends to His will, my
point is this, we are the pinnacle of His art, yet we fight Him
from the start, Everybody needs one moment in time,
and it is different for all and each, gut check, heart check.

Go through life with zest and vigour, instead of pantomime.
Actions may speak louder than words, other than those few,
"Lord forgive me, for what I have done, I have sinned and
nailed your Son to a tree on Calvary."

Everybody needs the One,
Jesus His Son.
