-An Abandoned Dog’s Easter Tale-

 

“Be thou comforted little dog,

Thou too shall have a Resurrection.”

 

Martin Luther

 

When I found him out on the street

He was starving, and almost dead

He is at least eight or nine years old

His spirit crushed, he felt only dread

 

He trudged about, with his head hung low

Garbage found in alleys, was his only food

He was very sadly ready, to give up on life

I didn’t know if we could improve his mood

 

He spent almost two weeks in the animal hospital

Cared for and bathed, and treated for his maladies

I traveled there to fetch him, the day before Easter

And his resurrection today, is quite miraculous to me

 

He greeted my spouse and I, with kisses and tail wags

He very joyously pranced out, and jumped into my truck

It was as if he knew, that he had somehow been resurrected

It was as if he knew in his heart and soul, he’d found some luck

 

Best of all, all of our former street orphans have graciously welcomed him

He has already found an understanding friend, in another resurrected canine

As I pen this, he’s happily cavorting in our backyard with his new pal, Highway

It’s a very joyous Easter for old Scruffy, his resurrection both uplifting and divine

Happy (belated) Easter, Scruffy
and may your resurrection last long

and a Happy Easter to you, too, Ed,
and to all you love and care for...and that's a lot
of people and animals!

As always, reading your simple presentations of the complexity of compassion and kindness gives my day a great start. Another story well worth revisiting. Thank you.

Scruffy looks like a Easter gift from God Himself!
This world needs to wake up and realize happiness is bundled up God's loving animals!
Buying things produce more worries! Dogs, cats and other furry creatures give unconditional love!

God Bless you Ed!
