Angels with four legs Though they may not have wings to fly Back and forth between the earth and sky. They never question the reason why? But, will give of their life, if do or die.
When we're in trouble they never run or hide For this I am thankful and full of pride. They aid and comfort the disabled and sick. They even employ a special trick. If the need arises, they will even give your face a lick. When you come home after a hard day's work They just want you to pet them; it's their only quirk. For no matter what time you arrive home at night, They never fail to greet you, what a beautiful sight!
So be kind and loving to the very end. For this four-legged angel is your very best friend, And will always remain faithful to the very end.
Roots--more complex than that tangled part of an underground plant; A place to draw from, an essential part of growth; My beginnings that shaped and nurtured the future me. When my world feels shaky, as if my roots are being torn away, And loved ones begin to depart, I have only to reflect on these golden memories that we call yesterday The smoothness of a baby's skin; A wrinkled smile that lights up the room; Words of wisdom suggested with love; Sad occasions where prayers are mingled with tears; Happy holidays where love and laughter and good food abound; Hands joined in prayer connecting with one another and with God. And then I know that my roots are secure. For as a root draws water from the soil, I, too, can draw strength from that innermost part of my private self Knowing that my roots are not gone But are tenderly and lovingly multiplying, Sending out new growth in the never-ending scheme of life -- Which has perfect order.

A place to draw from, an essential part of growth;
My beginnings that shaped and nurtured the future me.
When my world feels shaky, as if my roots are being torn away,
And loved ones begin to depart,
I have only to reflect on these golden memories that we call yesterday
The smoothness of a baby's skin;
A wrinkled smile that lights up the room;
Words of wisdom suggested with love;
Sad occasions where prayers are mingled with tears;
Happy holidays where love and laughter and good food abound;
Hands joined in prayer connecting with one another and with God.
And then I know that my roots are secure.
For as a root draws water from the soil,
I, too, can draw strength from that innermost part of my private self
Knowing that my roots are not gone
But are tenderly and lovingly multiplying,
Sending out new growth in the never-ending scheme of life --
Which has perfect order.
