For Riley and His Friend Bailey
In the beginning -
we humans were primitives
Existing as crude hunter-gatherers
Quite unaware of any higher thought
And curiously unaware of love
But then we were discovered by The Dog
Who taught us the glorious mystery of play
And how to laze throughout sweet summer days
To contemplate, to cuddle, and to care -
To care about beings beyond ourselves
Because we were accepted by The Dog
Through God’s intended, love-barked dialogue
We pray we may be worthy of The Dog
