This is to people who suffered from Heartbreak
The ones whose feelings start to shake
The one whose pain that rattles their mind
To those, Who was always left behind.
People at the job, Who doesn't get their praise
Even the hardworking, Who's overlooked for a raise.
The couple that fight like cats and dogs.
The ones that can't see the the love through the fog.
This is our truth to ones who been in pain
Who works too hard and lost all that they gain
So Soar to the sky, Find things that you love
Because this to the people: To the loved!
They howl, piddle, and slobber
All over your new shoes.
They eat everything in their line of sight,
And you never get to read the news!
They think everything belongs to them,
no matter what it is.
It could be a rubber ball,
it's either hers or his.
They fight like cats and dogs,
and never seem to share,
they'd rather have the box,
than the toys you bought to show you care.
And even though they make a million mistakes,
and make you feel so old,
you never stop loving them,
because those babies are your own.
