Walking home

When walking home down a lonely road,
I saw birds, a squirrel and a tree toad.
I saw flowers, bees and a little bird dog,
He just crawled out from behind old log.

He was spotted all over and so very tiny,
His hair was all dirty and he was whiny.
He followed me walking right by my side.
I wondered if his mother might have died?

He walked beside me all the way home.

So I gave him some water and a bone.

I sat and thought as I watch him play.

If you could talk what would you say?

I busied myself with my morning meal.

As I sat there a presents, I began to feel,

Before I took my first bite I looked his way.

There he sat his head bowed ready to pray.

I lay my fork aside, and bowed my head,

Lord forgive the haste of a sinner I said.

You see God was the giver, and I the finder,

And so I named that spotted dog Reminder.
