A Dog's Promise

You’re the first thing i remember

You’re my most important person

I don’t know where I'd be without you

 

I protect you

Big or small

Imagined or real

I’ll be there waiting to step in and protect you

 

You make me happy

You make me worry

When you aren’t home

When you miss dinner

But you always come back

 

When I’m old

You’ll still be young

You will take care of my

Until my time is done

 

Then you’ll be sad

And that’s okay

But you should know

You were the last thing I saw

And I'll be the first thing you see 

When you get here
