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.
