Man's Best Friend

A faithful dog will play with you
And laugh with you... or cry..
He'll gladly starve
to stay with you
Nor ever reason why.
And when you're
feeling out of sorts
Somehow, he'll understand.
He'll watch you with
his shining eyes
And try to lick your hand.
His blind, implicit faith in you
Is matched by his 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,
It becomes the word "GOD"
