Before The Fall
Phil Brown
My Father brought me a new animal today,
It was so delightful to watch it play.
It jumped and ran and licked my hand,
It seemed to say, I know and love you man!
As the day wore on it followed me everywhere,
I laughed for joy everytime it stopped to stare.
It chased it's tail round and round,
and chased every rabbit right into the ground.
It was so much fun to have someone,
to share my laughter and romp in the sun.
As we played there under a tree,
I thought, Father you created this animal just for me.
As the sun started down I decided to say,
Lord, I'd like to have this animal stay.
Then as I beheld him perched upon a log,
I said, Lord I know, I'll call him Dog.
