german shepard poems

hi i found this poem earlier i just wanted to share it, does anyone have any other poems about german shepards?

The stately German Shepherd-
Protective, bold and smart,
Looked into my eyes one day
And quickly stole my heart.

Courageous and endearing,
A favorite of its breed,
So proud and yet so loving,
A steadfast friend indeed.

Caring disposition,
Faithful to the core-
If you have a Shepherd’s love,
You cannot want for more.

I will lend to you for awhile a German shepherd pup, God said,
For you to love him while he lives and mourn him when he's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three,
But will you, 'til I call him back, take care of him for Me?

He'll bring his charms to gladden you and should his stay be brief,
you'll always have his memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught below I want this pup to learn.

I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true
And from the folk that crowd life's land I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to take My puppy back again?

I fancied that I heard them say "Dear Lord Thy will be done,"
For all the joys this pup will bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay.

But should You call him back much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.
If, by our love, we've managed Your wishes to achieve,
In memory of him we loved, to help us while we grieve
When our faithful bundle departs this world of strife,
We'll have yet another German shepherd and love him all his life.

I found this one, which is quite nice.

The Spirit of a German Shepherd Dog

I was standing on a hillside, in a field of blowing wheat,
And the spirit of a German Shepherd was lying at my feet.

He looked at me with kind dark eyes, an ancient wisdom shining through,
And in the essence of his being I saw love there too!

His mind did lock upon my heart as I stood there on that day
And he told me of this story about a place so far away.

I stood upon that hillside in a field of blowing wheat,
And in a twinkling of a second, his spirit left my feet.

His tale did put my heart at ease ... my fears did fade away
About what lay ahead of me on another distant day.

"I live among God's creatures now in the heavens of your mind.
So do not grieve for me, my friend, as I am with my kind.

My collar is a rainbow's hue, my leash a shooting star!
My boundaries are the Milky Way, where I sparkle from afar.

There are no pens or kennels here, for I am not confined,
But free to roam God's heavens among my Shepherd kind.

I nap the day on a snowy cloud, gentle breezes rocking me...
And dream the dreams of earthlings and how it used to be.

The trees are full of liver treats and tennis balls abound.
And Milkbones line the walkways just waiting to be found.

There even is a ring set up, the grass all lush and green...
And everyone who gaits around, becomes the "Best of Breed!"

For we're all winners in this place! We have no faults, you see,
And God passes out those ribbons to each one, even me!

I drink from waters laced with gold. My world a beauty to behold!
And wise old dogs do form my pride, to amble at my very side.

At night I sleep in an angel's arms, her wings protecting me.
And moonbeams dance about us as stardust falls on thee.

So when your life on earth is spent and you stand at Heaven's gate...
Have no fear of loneliness for here, you know I wait."

I HAVE A HEART AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
I HAVE FEELING, DON' THROW ME AWAY

When you get me as a pup, remember,
I GROW UP
I have a heart and unconditional love,
NO MATTER WHAT

When you treat me badly I still
come back to you,
EVER SO SADLY
I forgive you over and over
AGAIN

As I grow you say "Oh too Much"
You jumped on me "Ouch"
I say I am sorry in my loving
TOUCH

Don't throw me to the curb like
so many other breeds
I AM HERE TO PLEASE

Me the SHEPHERD I am as gentle
AS THE BREEZE

I love my family,I am devoted to
the end and my spirit still goes
even from the bridge,
STILL DEVOTED


You can make me mean what a
shame, but that is not who I am
I HAVE A HEART AND
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

THAT'S WHO I AM BEST
FRIEND TO MAN
DON'T THROW ME AWAY.
