Because I Love You The more I am with you,
the more I feel our love grow.
But when I am away from you,
I grow to love you even more. I am stronger because of you,
blessed to be with you,
and lost without you.
You are my every dream come true. |

A Friend Is ,,, A friend is someone who will always be there
Someone to show you how much they care.
A friend is someone who will light the darkened path,
Someone who should never show you their wrath. A friend is someone who will never let you down
Someone who always will be around.
A friend is someone who won't get jealous;
Someone who is forever zealous. A friend is someone who won't go away,
And you know that they are there to stay.
A friend is someone with two shoulders to cry on,
You know that a friend will never be gone. A friend is someone who will be there forever,
Who is by your side, no matter the weather.
A friend is someone who will be there until the end
You know this person is your forever friend! |

True Blue The first time I saw the little dog,
He seemed so all alone,
Waiting outside the prison gate,
But I knew he had a home.
For he wore a collar around his neck
With a tag that showed right through,
And when I looked down at it,
I saw his name, "True Blue."
Inside the jail there was a man
Who was convicted of a crime,
As they shaved his hair I spoke to him
For he didn't have much time.
I asked him if there's anyone
Who he would like to see ...
He turned around with tear-filled eyes,
And then he said to me ...
"I know this may sound foolish
To a lawyer such as you,
But the only one I want to see
Is my little dog, True Blue."
"I've got a wife and family,
But I've brought them such disgrace,
That they wouldn't want to see me now,
As I meet this awful fate."
"So you see, the only one I have
Is my little loyal friend,
And the only thing I ask right now
Is to hold him once again."
I told the warden of this request,
But he said he did not know,
As to whether he could grant this wish,
But I begged him, "Don't say no."
I went outside and saw True Blue,
Who somehow seemed so thin,
Just then the door swung open,
And a voice said, "Bring him in."
For there were only minutes left
To let them say Good-Bye,
As I carried True Blue, he seemed to know
His master soon would die.
The man hung down his head in shame
As the preacher began to speak,
Then True Blue jumped out of my arms
And laid at his masters feet.
The man picked him up and held him close,
As he whispered, "This is the end ...
But before we part, I just have to say,
You've been more than a wonderful friend."
I took True Blue and brought him home,
For I promised to do my part;
But I found out just hours later,
"True Blue" died of a broken heart.
I'm glad that this was one case
Where permission was not denied,
And this was the only time in my life,
That I saw a warden cry.

Good Bye My Friend Oh, little friend, do you recall,
When you made this house your home?
You were just a ball of fluff,
Not even halfway grown.
You stumbled when you learned to walk,
It was hard to steer four legs;
You learned to sit, and stay, and come,
And, of course, you learned to beg.
You loved those walks we used to take,
You never left my side;
And if I got my car keys out,
You were ready for a ride.
You sensed when I was happy,
Or was feeling kind of low;
You'd rub up against my knee,
You always seemed to know.
You'd fetch a ball or get a toy,
Without even being told;
But, was your face crestfallen,
If I felt the need to scold.
You found the outside world exciting,
Do you remember your first snow?
You'd not come back inside the house,
Because you loved it so.
Going to the vets for shots,
I guess was your greatest fear;
You seemed to know each scheduled date,
Though you went but once a year.
You were afraid of lightening, too,
And of booming thunderstorms;
You'd run and jump upon my bed,
Where it was safe and warm.
I never once felt lonely,
As long as you were here;
You were at my feet or on my lap,
You constantly were near.
Oh, I am going to miss you,
No question about that;
But, little one, for your pain to go,
I had to send you back.
You're going back to heaven now,
From whence long ago you came;
You'll be welcomed back by God, Himself,
Who knows your doggy-name.
I think there's Frisbees up in heaven,
And rubber, squeaky toys;
And angels who will play with you,
And little girls and boys.
But, there won't be any thunderstorms,
And no vets with shots up there;
You won't even need a leash,
You'll run freely in God's air.
And when my time on earth is done,
And at heaven's gate I'm near,
I don't want any harps or horns,
Just ... happy barks to hear.
So, see you later, little friend,
I'm glad you're now pain-free;
And I'm glad you're sitting next to Jesus,
Now ... you wait right there for me. |
