Sometimes  I am so serious
Some tell me to "Lighten up!"
Instead of like being like an old Guard Dog--
They'd prefer me a Playful Pup.

And I know at times, they're right
I seem all dogged out and gruff,
Now one should take life seriously--
But not Hound others-and make life tough!

And even if mine's "a Dog's Life"
Some dogs do have fun, after all,
By taking pleasures in life's simple things
Like chasing a car or a ball!

And what of a Dog's Devotion?
How sweet Love's Sincerity!
If the Master's gone 5 minutes or days--
The return's worth a good Slurpy!

To be as a Dog-and not a man
Filled with such distress, anyhow,
Ain't all that bad, as you can see--
Now I see the truth in "Bow-WOW!!!!"

I love the whimsy. It is so true that God has a great sense of humor and speaks to us from the most unexpected places and creatures.
I have a gut feeling that God is a whole lot sillier than we think and He/She would very much like to help us all to lighten up!

Where there is faith,
there is love.
Where there is love,
there is peace.
Where there is peace,
there is GOD.
Where there is GOD,
there is no need.
