Part of the Deal
You know you will cry
when your pet dog dies
The tears will overflow
It is selfish to feel
you need more time to steal
So hard to let them go
It's not that they made you feel loved
It's that you were loved
By a four legged friend
who is happiest when
They are with us to spend
time...
Time to play, time to sleep
Time to guard, time to eat
Time to groom, time to rest
Time to be together, time apart to miss
Time to walk, time to share
Time to hold, time to care
A shy boy or girl
a playful puppy rocks their world
and gives them a friend to grow
For the old
A dog to pet and hold
makes loneliness nothing to know
For the disable
a train dog is able
to make their lives easier to be
For the blind
they guide them to see
making their lives a little more free
You can talk to your dogs
and they understand
they know their names and commands
how smart they turn out to be
Like children to us they become
Protective of them as they are to you
Somehow you know what each other will do
They make us laugh
They make us cry
They make us smile
They make us try
They are our friends
waggling tail to wet nose
That happy bark or funny pose
They know our secrets
see us in the shower
Know us better or worse
From dusk to dawn
alert at night for any wrong
Faithful true and loyal pals
Hard to say goodbye now
People without dogs are not human
it takes a dog to keep you real
A dog unconditionally loves you
and that is better than any pill
Go and rescue another dog
not to replace but to fulfill
For recusing another dog you find
the dog is recusing you as part of the deal.
