A heaven without animals <br /> would be no paradise for me. <br />Pets love is unconditional <br /> and given unreservedly. <br /> <br />The pets which have preceded me <br /> although their leaving caused me pain <br />I am quite certain I shall see. <br /> The love we shared will still remain. <br /> <br />Because they act instinctively <br /> as their creator meant them to <br />They are from sin completely free <br />As innocents entitled to <br /> <br />pass through the pearly gates with ease. <br />Greet their creator face to face <br />In answer to the fervent pleas <br />of spirits who have earned their place. <br /> <br />Perhaps in time I’ll qualify <br />though I am burdened down with sin. <br />I cannot see a reason why. <br />St Peter will not let them in. <br /> <br />27-Jan-08<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-ever-not-for-thad/
