Your Pet Loss Poems

'A Doggie Lick in Heaven'

by Major Reisman

Some say dogs will ne’er walk on Heaven’s streets of Gold,

I would like to think they certainly will as I grow old,

I can picture my dog stopping to sniff at that pearly Gate,

And as I cross on over, for me he would sit and patiently wait.



As a Christian I’d be content with even a small celestial shack,

And would love to find a doggie house right out in the back,

So with Jesus to welcome me Home per His saving Grace,

The icing on Heaven’s cake would be a doggie lick to my face.
