I was standing on a hillside
In a field of blowing wheat
And the spirit of a dachshund
Was lying at my feet.
She looked at me with kind dark eyes
An ancient wisdom shining through
And in the essence of her being
I saw love there too.
Her mind did lock apon my heart
As I stood there on that day
And she told me of this story
About a place so far away.
I stood apon that hillside
In a field of blowing wheat
And in a twinkling of a second
Her spirit left my feet.
Her tale did put my heart at ease
My fears did fade away
About what lay ahead of me
On another distant day.
"I live amongst gods creatures now
In the heavens of your mind
So do not grieve for me, my friend
As I am with my kind.
My collar is a rainbows hue
My leash a shooting star
My boundaries are the milkyway
Where I sparkle from afar.
There are no pens or kennels here
For I am not confined
But free to roam gods heavens
Amongst my dachshund kind.
I nap the day on a snowy cloud
Gentle breezes rocking me
And dream the dreams of earthlings
And how it used to be.
The trees are full of liver treats
And tennis balls abound
And milkbones line the walkways
Just waiting to be found.
There is even a ring setup
The grass all lush and green
And everyone who gaits around
Becomes the best of breed.
For we are all winners here
We have no faults you see
And God passes out the ribbons
To each one, even me.
I drink from waters laced with gold
My world a beauty to behold
And wise old dogs do form my pride
To amble at my very side.
At night I sleep in angels arms
Her wings protecting me
And moonbeams dance about us
As stardust falls on me.
So when your life on earth is done
And you stand at heavens gate
Have no fear of lonliness
For here, you know I wait".
