Lily – Shane – Buddy
By Franklin Price

Lily, Shane and Buddy
Bringing sunshine to my door
In just a couple hours
Might just be a little more
Driving in Shane's brand new truck
Been on the road about a week
They're coming here to visit me
To look around and have a peek
Greeting them with home made tacos
Making sure they get their fill
They're family not company
They'll not be getting any bill
Lily is my own granddaughter
Shane is her best of friends
It could progress to more than that
On how things go, it all depends
Buddy is a friend to both
Walks with them in the parks
He doesn't have a lot to say
Has no words to speak, just barks
They will be here several days
Will be visiting with me
Whatever they would like to do
There are many sights to see
They're on an excellent adventure
Still have many miles to go
I'm one of their many stops
We'll have a grand old time, I know
Until Later

Lily,Shane and Buddy
Are leaving here today
Their visit has been wonderful
Now they must be on their way
Other family to visit
Other places to explore
What a time I've had with them
Since they brightened up my door
Played dominoes into the night
Shane never cheated, he was fun
He asked me for my Lily's hand
I said yes, you are one
We climbed the highest mountain
In the Eastern U.S.A.
Walked across the bridge of flowers
Where the Dirty Dancers played
We hiked along the river Broad
Shane and Buddy walked across
Buddy fetched sticks from the water
That the three of us would toss
Last night was the last night
We finished up by playing scrabble
Lily made up several words
Shane looked up all her babble
It's now early in the morning
They're still sleeping 'cross the way
They came, with love, to visit
Get permission, and to play
I gave them my God's blessing
For their marriage that's to be
They'll continue they're adventures
Hand in hand, upon life's sea.
