Nonetheless my heart was touched

Who plays the game well
His name is Bradley
He’s always plotting n
Looking to get ahead
No matter who’s toes
He has to step on
To be CEO, president...

There once was a poodle named Bradley,
And he liked to eat shoes very gladly,
How much footwear he'd destroy,
"Bradley! Shoes are not a toy!"
No other dog in this world acts so badly....

The new employee calls in sick weekly.
On Monday this week.
On Tuesday last week.
On Wednesday the week before.




We wonder why he does not get into trouble.
Until we hear him call the boss
“Uncle Bradley”...

Paisley prettiness, navy and ivory,
A cocksure purse hangs from my shoulder.
Vera Bradley, oh how I love thee.
Gifted me, ten past jubilee older.
Mine little quilt, behold her.

Oh, the joy earned,
Having a friend like you
A model of the ways of life
Next to me in innocence.

To open up my heart,
Not afraid for you to see
Or too displeased to care. 

To rest in silence, 
Savoring our tender tie 
Oh, so close to you sharing
Moments of our lives passed.

The soft aura that we shared, 
Throughout this friendship,
The purest of all.

Mama Mable made music mellow with mood
But baby boy Bradley bellowed and booed
So sensitively she started singing sweetly
Yet the youngster yowled yearningly

Poor perplexed papa peered and pleaded
“No nocturnal nuisances are needed,”
He hurried through the house, his hefty frame hobbled
Baby boy Bradley basked blissfully with his bedtime bottle

In Loving Memory of Shawna Nicole Bradley

All who got to know her wish they could
change the past. 
And make her come back, 
but we know we can't so we just try to 
keep her memory alive for as long as possible. 
If it were up to us her memory would never die.
Although she was only here for twelve 
short years she touched 
the hearts of all who had the chance to meet her. 
But in all the hearts she touched 
she will never be forgotten. 
We love you Shawna....
