Soft Paws By Aaron Clause A Good Example This week, the powers that be brought an interesting and thought-provoking verse to my inbox. I felt I should share it with you all, so that you may send it along to those in need of an awakening. Although the author is unknown, the printing came to me through the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets quarterly “of-interest” mailing, DOG TALES. Enjoy!
If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can get going without pep pills,
If you can always be cheerful and ignore aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when,
Through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can ignore a friend’s limited education and never correct him,
If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
If you can say honestly that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against
Creed, color, religion or politics,
Then, my friend, you are almost as good as your pet!
