No Regrets
I am a dog with a loving heart
And just like you I burp and I fart
When my family and I go for walkies together
Simply throw me a ball and I'm more happy then ever
I would never judge you for acting like fools
and I learn really fast with a few simple rules
I am a dog with sharp teeth and claws
Which I use to protect my children and yours
So if danger threatens my family in doors
I will fight at their side standing strong on all fours
The fight may leave me with bruises and sores
But your love hugs and kisses are worth more than my paws
When your babies are sleeping I'll guard them all night
So go to sleep mum an dad it will all be alright
If someone breaks in just try and keep calm
I'll do whatever it takes to keep you from harm
If I hurt someone doing what I must do
They may put me to sleep but it's worth it for you
If this is to happen you're not to blame
You loved me and cared for me so carry no shame
You must all be strong as there will be no pain
And rest assured I will see you again
So with my family all round me just cradle my paw
And I'm happy that you're the last people I saw.
