Song: in collaboration with Maria Williams

Listen to poem:
Man's bestie Not a poodle or westie He looks like a wolf Not in sheep's clothing No danger Only love Faithful presence Honest happiness I can call his name And in he comes Boundless Longing to be known Happy to have grown Up with me He rests and dreams So do I We dream together We walk I talk Whatever the weather He teaches me something Every day About faithfulness Simplicity Honesty Love Even when we have to say Goodbye His memory Will be etched Onto the tombstone Of my life

Dear Sam, gosh … this is absolutely gorgeous! What an outstanding collaboration with dear Maria. Perfect lyrics with perfect music/ vocals. Made me cry too - even the picture grabbed the heartstrings. It will resonate with so many who have been blessed with sharing their hearts with such a beautiful, faithful companion. Those last two stanzas are incredibly touching. So emotional. This has to be a fav for me too dear friend ( tissues required) x Hugs x

What a great collaboration Sam, I really enjoyed doing this with you. From one dog lover to another, it made me tear up. Every now and again there comes a pet that has a deep soulful connection and I felt your emotion in these lyrics. A fave for me ...Hugs

Dearest Maria - this was the most unexpected and beautiful thing I have experienced. The poem was a very personal and gentle few words from the heart, but you have transformed it and blessed me beyond tears. I am so very grateful for you. Thank you xx S :) x
