Tip tap tip tap
little paws go pitter patter
slowly moving, speed increasing
growing louder is the clatter
finding me, he snuggles up
and settles down so sweet
As I sit on my piano bench
he rests upon my feet
with the steady beat
my feet, they pedal up and down
lulling my sweet boy to sleep
he rests upon the ground
There is nothing more that I love to do than to sit at the piano and worship. Hours could pass by, and yet it feels like time stands still when I am there. One of my favorite things is that my dog also likes to sit with me, too, when I play. As soon as I sit on my bench, within a couple of minutes I start to hear his paws tip-tapping on our hardwood floors. He speeds up when he gets closer to the sound of the piano, and then he sits- right on top of my right foot- the one I use to pedal as I play. He will lay there the entire time, resting and sometimes wagging his tail as I sing and play the day away. He does this every single time.
If he could talk, I think he would tell me he likes music, too.
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD. Psalm 150:6
Oh, to rest at His feet the same way my sweet Remy does mine…
Lord, help me to be still before You and hear Your sweet voice today!
Let EVERYTHING that has breath……………………………praise the Lord.
Awesome reminder of all creation, then there are those ‘rocks which cry out.’ Hmmm, do rocks breathe? 😉
Keep singin.

Yes it is! And he is always so agreeable ;). Except when he wants something…then he barks and paws at me until I figure out what he needs. Usually involves food. Lol. Hope you had a wonderful day!!

Aww…thanks, Lorrie! He’s definitely a keeper! We adopted him when he was about 8 months old, and from the very first day he has loved sitting under the piano. It is nice to have a buddy join me in singing praises each morning :). Love you, too, my friend!!!
