A heart touched
By a loving paw and a wet nose
Is a heart
Forever
Forever full.

No more will I be
something
to hold
caress casually
Oh no not me!
I’ll be tough
filled
with anger
spreading hate
Yes, that’ll be me
Not because
I want to
not because
I need to
Just because
at
this moment
that’s me.

Take hold of me
And please hold tight
Protect, guide me
Through the darkest night
Let no harm come to me
Or those I love
This I ask, I ask of you
My sweet love.

I feel
warm and cozy
snuggled up
between the two
of
you
Your heart
is
beating
I feel
that
too
Tomorrow we’ll go
for a walk
just us
We’ll walk together
you, me
and
you
I’ll say the words
I feel
I’ll say those words
that are
true
Then
you’ll smile
you’ll leave me
saying
I love you
You’ll be gone
and
I’ll be missing
missing
you.

When I hear your heart beat
I know you are near
embracing
me
comforting
supporting
me
When I hear your heart beat.

You heard me
I know you heard me
but
didn’t say a thing
to save my day
my life
Your eyes didn’t smile
nor
did you take me
in your arms
telling me, saying words
to stop the tears
the cries
You walked away
your back to me
like
you didn’t hear
hear me cry
But
I know you heard me
I know
you heard me cry.

Lonely
I may be
Happy
I will be
When I see you dancing
all around
me
Your voice will sing
a song
of ecstasy
Your heart will comply with beats
I feel inside
me
Your feet, your feet
will move
in such a happy way
Your eyes will see
me
no longer sad
nor lonely
Only filled
with the deepest love
now
that you’re here
you’re holding
me.
