The Promise

I promised to stand by you my whole life through.

To share your sorrows and help chase your fears;

I’ve even licked away you tears.

 

Many roads we’ve walked, some high, some low.

There are still some journeys we’ve left to go.

 

My eyes may cloud and hearing fade,

but my heart still beats for you each and everyday.

 

Never once would I think to leave your side,

I may look old but I’m still that young pup inside.

 

I’ve kept my promise, now will you?

Be there for me when I need you too.
