216. Pets

Did you ever wonder what your pet sees?
Or ever what they are thinking?
Did you ever think that if they could talk
You would soon contemplate heavy drinking?
We pet them so and avoid them too
Ignoring them except when we want attention
What if our roles were soon changed?
Would they do the same without hesitation?
We call them our buddies and special friends
And mostly we see to their needs
But how often do we just turn away
If only to accomplish other deeds?
Since we were all created from above
All children to our knowing Creator
Don’t you think there’s a reason pets exist
Giving some time to think now and not later?
Though pet’s forgive and love us most
Despite what the rest of the world knows
Take time to enjoy and value such friends
For they are all God’s living souls
