ODE TO AN OLD FRIEND
I lie here so quiet my head on my paw
Both eyes are open as I watch the door
Remembering years that have quickly gone by
And the bond of affection between you and I.
The days long ago when I was so small
I had you’re love to me that was all
My body grew stronger I grew day by day
On many a walk I loved to play.
I’d jump in the air for the ball you would toss
And when I was naughty you seldom got cross
My coat was all shiny my body so strong
My pleasure being with you all day long.
Now I am older my muzzle all grey
I don’t always hear the words you say
So I take it easy now I am not young
And remember all the things we have done.
Though I am old of this I am sure
My day is complete when you walk through the door
And I know this old dog you will never forsake
The bond that’s between us no one can break.
