Stray not further yonder,
And roam not far and wonder,
For you hold in your seeking hands,
Your head, your heart, your feet and hands,
With all you need to gain your breakthroughs,
Well before this precious life is through
Lean back and visit kitty land,
Reach far and scan through puppy land,
We run and scratched and meow meowed all day,
We raced and wrestled and ruff ruffed every day,
For we knew not how we did some things,
And from whence the grace to do those things.
Reach wide and browse through your childhood,
Look keen and search through adulthood,
Our God, our father gave us this life,
And all the tools to bold all strife,
Amazing true gifts from him as seeds to sow,
And tend with all it takes to grow.
