Always By My Side
The world embraces its boredom guise.
The sun rises and the sun sets.
Time goes by in the blink of an eye.
But as I watch the rise and fall of your chest
And hear your sweet cries
I realize the world may be something I just met.
Sunny days seem to visit more often
While dark days grow farther away
My heart your amber eyes soften
As we sit and watch the mighty oaks sway
We have since you entered the world of men
And everyday you make me feel I will be okay
I never want to think of the day you may leave
I know my heart will never be the same
But I’ll remember all the things you were able to achieve
Victories and love we always claimed
You are more than a pet most no doubt can conceive
Because, my love, the greatest friend on earth is what you became….
