You've given many gifts, oh Lord,
That brighten, help and cheer,
Like butterflies and sunset skies,
But of gifts there's none more dear
Than pets, dear dogs and cats and all
Who share our smiles and cares
And wag a friendly tail or purr,
Or look with ever caring eyes
Into our own, as though they were
Studying each thought we have,
And when their short, good lives
Are done and they have gone away,
They leave a sorrow. Yes, but too,
A joy that still does stay
On through the years ahead,
And brings a tear but most a smile,
For what they shared with you and me
Helped make our lives worthwhile.
