An Ode to Elvis

God Can Use a Puppy


I felt a kinship right away to this tiny speckled pup.

I knew he was a precious gift the moment our eyes met.

This warm and cuddly, soft and sweet mischievous little boy

Snuggled right up to me and gazed into my soul.

He made an aching, hurting heart overflow with joy.

He made the sadness melt away, a smile lit up my face.

Now I know, why from the start,

I had to make him mine.

Yes, God can use a puppy to heal a wounded heart.

He’s like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.

I love my little Elvis, he makes my joy complete.

He makes me laugh while we run and play,

And gives me kisses sweet!
