Puppy means love

Years ago
Life was so slow
So alone I did grow
There was no one near
Just the fear
That I was alone for good
Is all I understood 
I let life pass me by
The tears I would sometimes cry
Alone I would walk
No one in which to talk
Life has me down
In sorrow I felt I would drown
Everyone needs someone
With whom they could watch the sitting sun
Make life a little more fun
Was walking around
Nowhere was I bound
Just passing the day
When along my way
I saw puppies lying along side the road
Someone had lightened their load
Too bad
So sad
Someone had tossed them aside
My sadness I could not hide
As I walked by
I thought I was going to cry
Then I Saw this eye
So beautiful and green 
Amazed at what I had seen
I knelt beside her
Felt my heart stir
Gently lifted her from the ground 
To weak to make a sound
I carried her home hoping she would survive 
I just had to keep her alive
She already made it to my heart
I did not want her to part
Everyday
In every way
I cared for her 
Still she made my heart stir
After a week or more
Her strength started to soar
Then one night
After I turned out the light
I felt something touch my side
To my surprise I could not hide
What could it be
It was my puppy snuggling up next to me
For ten years
A lot less tears
Always at my side
My love I cannot hide
When I look at her
I still fill my heart stir
