Every Dog Has Its Day


The dog gets a haircut and is alleviated
from all that stifling fur. And the car with
a fresh battery is again willing to take
you somewhere. Nails are trimmed and

a tangible sense of touch returns. There are
reasons some men are renewed by a shave
each day while others are empowered by
the feel and appearance of facial hair.

A new pair of shoes and the woman feels
admirably revived. We claim a new lease
on life each day the sun rises. Something
tells us there is a need for change, a new

suit, a face lift, exercise and the loss of
extra weight. Some pray, relying on Jesus
or Allah to save the day. Thank God there
was enough money in the account; this

month all the bills can been paid. You apply
the credit card to your next purchase,
knowing full well next month you’ll have
to start the remittance deal all over again.

The show isn’t over until the credits are run.
Then there comes a day (perhaps one of those
which has seemingly gone your way), the
coveted Lease on Life is not renewed…The end.

Take heart, my friend, even the dog, oblivious
to it all, found some relief for a while.
