What Animals Teach Us

Dedicated to my little 3 1/2 year old schnauzer, Riley (photo at right). I call him "my little boy in a dog suit."

MY BOY RILEY

What have you shown me?

You

with your wide brown eyes

And puppy dog smile.

Love

Loyalty

Joy in being alive

Devotion

Vulnerability

Trust

Living entirely in the moment

Forgiveness.

God sent you

At the right time--

When I needed you most.
