You can tell a lot about a person
in how they treat their dog.
I have hear that dog
cry out for her master
many a day
and nights.
She is about fifteen now.
She has endured tempertures in the teens
while being left outdoors.
She has swellered in heat above 100
while being left outdoors.
An electronic fence guards her escape from this prison.
The fence is in the front of the house
no less.
Many a morning does the smell of her poop
fill the air of their neighbor’s yard.
Her Master has been featured
in a well-known community magazine
hugging this dog no less.
You sure can tell a lot about a person
in how they really treat their dog.

Walk tenderly on my dreams for my dreams are me with my soul exposed. Judge not the worth of my hopes nor the possibility of their reality. If you are without encouraging words then seal your lips in speaking of my dreams. Are we not without hope when stripped of our dreams and aspirations? Look to yourself and ask when were your own dreams scattered against the rocks of time? Take not your anger with yourself against those who still have hope.

My gift to you is neither gold or silver.
Diamonds can never hold the light of this gift.
Pearls will will never glow beyond the of this gift.
It is everlasting and eternal.
Within the gift is enclosed the song of angels.
Another part of the gift is the gentle breath of God
given in love to his creatures.
In many ways this gift has life within it
as it changes and grows.
My only valued possession of priceless value is this gift.
I give you this gift freely without restraint.
Beyond death it will always be yours.
I give thee my love my love.
