Special Friend

I came home from work; after a long hard day

but the house felt so empty; I couldn't stay

So I grabbed my coat; and hopped in the car

then drove to the park; it wasn't to far

 

I walked down the path; and spotted a bench

then it started to rain; guess who got drenched

I dried the bench; then sat down to rest

I looked up in the tree; and saw a bird's nest

 

I watched two dogs; take a break for a drink

as my mind started wandering; I started to think

I thought about times; from back in the past

when the fun we had; would last and last

 

The kid's would see us; as we walked in the park

and they'd come a runnin; as you let out a bark

With your friendly bark; and wagging tail

off you'd all go; play on the trails

 

You were so kind and gentle; never a pest

in everyone's book; you were simply the best

Always there; for one in need

as you did your best; to do a good deed

 

I got up from the bench; and walked to my car

then drove back home; it wasn't very far

I walked in the house; and pulled up a chair

then opened a window; to get some fresh air

 

I went to the kitchen; to get a drink

then sat in the chair; and began to think

My life has been blessed; since the day we met

to me you are one; very special pet

 

The Lord decided; to put us together

I'll always be thankful; for ever and ever

You are my star; my guiding light

my eyes and ears; in the black of night

 

I look to the day; we'll be together again

just me and my very; special friend
