Treat me kindly, my beloved master for no heart in all the world is more gratefull for kindness
than the loving heart of me
Do not break my spirit with a stick for though i should lick your hands between blows
Your patient and understanding, will more quickly teach me the things you would have me do.
Speak to me often, for your voice is the worlds sweetest music
As you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when you footstep falls upon my waiting ear.
When it is cold and wet, please take me inside for i am now a domesticated animals
No longer used a bitter elements, and i ask no greater glory than the priviledge of sitting at your feet
beside the heart...
though had you no home in all the land,for you are my god and i am your devoted worshipper...
Keep my pan filled with fresh water for although i should not reproach you were it dry,
i cannot tell you when i suffer thirst
Feed me clean food, that i may stay well to romp and play,
and do your bidding, and walk by your side, and stand ready,
willing and able to protect you with all my life, should your life be in danger
And beloved master,
should the Great Master see fit to deprive me of my health or sight,
do not turn me away from you, rather hold me gently in your arms,
as skilled hands grant me the merciful bond of eternal rest...
And i will leave you with the last breath i draw
my fate was ever safest in your hands
....Amen |
