DEAR FRIEND

You are there looking, staring at me

I can see your bright dark eyes

Telling me how much you love me, oh good friend

I know you can’t talk, no need too

As you age

I am not only seeing silver in your hair

But I learned how unconditional your love is, oh good friend

I know you, when you smile at me

I know you, when you want to play

And I know, you know me well

All the joy in you when I touch you

And the look in your face when I don’t

Oh, good friend

You cozy, sweet little thing

Tell me what is your secret

How is it that your tail never stops

How you never stop to amaze me

How your patience is so enormous

Please tell me your secret, oh good friend

Find the way to communicate

Let me learn that I don’t need what is missing

Let me learn I have everything I need

Let me learn to be as happy as you are

Because you have me

Teach me to be as happy as you are

Because I have you

You are the joy of my life

The company that follows me everywhere

Oh, dear friend

Teach me the secret of your happiness.
