Why ever not for Thad
A heaven without animals
would be no paradise for me.
Pets love is unconditional
and given unreservedly.
The pets which have preceded me
although their leaving caused me pain
I am quite certain I shall see.
The love we shared will still remain.
Because they act instinctively
as their creator meant them to
They are from sin completely free
As innocents entitled to
pass through the pearly gates with ease.
Greet their creator face to face
In answer to the fervent pleas
of spirits who have earned their place.
Perhaps in time I’ll qualify
though I am burdened down with sin.
I cannot see a reason why.
St Peter will not let them in.
