TO A LAB (A TRIBUTE TO JO STEELE)

By ed miller

To take a young puppy So young and so free To hold him and teach him What he needs to be.

If he was made happy To be good and be smart, A strong people person, Then I’ve done my part.

If he’s ready for training To help the blind see As a guide and a friend To someone, not me. Then I thank the good lord For this opportunity, For the patience and wisdom That He has given me.

Each dog that I keep And teach and adore I pray God will grant A strong heart, evermore.

And when the time comes To meet up above, I pray My little Lab puppies Will remember all my love.

Master’s Plan to handle all your Affairs through life’s trials And tests, you can rest Assured He has every battle In His care from the Biggest battle to the Smallest battle even an issue You present to him A scratch on the knee

Just trust Him and obey And watch him as you Encourage yourself in The meantime in the Lord The Master has your concerns So continue to encourage yourself Like David did in the Lord!!!

Be Encouraged
