THIS MAN'S BEST FRIEND

My faithful dog will play with me
And laugh with me and cry...
He'll gladly starve to stay with me
Nor ever reason why...

And when I'm feeling out of sorts
Somehow he'll understand
He'll watch me with his shining eyes
And try to lick my hand.

His blind implicit faith in me
Is matched by my great love
The kind that all of us should have
In the Master up above.

When everything is said and done,
I guess this isn't odd,
For when you spell dog backwards,
You will get the name of God.
