Puppy Love
(Lily’s poem)

You didn’t bring me into this world
You don’t know much about me
But you still picked me to be a part of your life
You brought me home for the first time
And didn’t know what to do with me
Because all you ever wish to have was your own baby…

I may not be your own flesh and blood
And not able to take care of you when you’re old
I do not need much in life but only your love
Yet you gave me everything that I would ever want
I may not be able to say how much I love you, too, Momma
But I can see it in your eyes that you know I do…
I cherish every moment you hold me and sing to me
Everyday is a perfect day as long as you’re with me
My life is so worthwhile because I make you smile
I’m truly one lucky dog in this beautiful world
Because God made me especially for you
You are my family and the best momma for me…

When You Say Nothing At All (My song to Lily & Shilo)
By Allison Krauss…

It’s amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don’t say a thing…

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all…

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What’s being said between your heart and mine
