I Love You for Being You
I know you think I don’t know you That the version I see is a lie That you can never change or grow No matter how hard you try
I know you think I don’t know you That the version I see is a lie That you can never change or grow No matter how hard you try
I could always talk as much as I wanted so long as I pet you while I did
You were always excited the second I got home and watched out the door while you waited for me
In a lifetime of feeling cast out I always had a place in your heart Good or bad days, it didn't matter You loved me just the same
I never had to be more than just your human And I never wanted you to be more than just my dog
Me and Jai
You can’t always see the light you wield How brightly it shines how far it reaches
Whatcha doing? Can I help? Well, can I sit with you then? I want to be close to you
Who's your friend? Can I snuggle with you two? They must be a good person So I want to be their friend too
Are you sick? I'll stay close by So I can be there for you Because I want to help
I need to be involved I always need to be close So that you always know How much I love you
Hey Grandma, whatcha doing?
When I got sick You could tell And sat with me Until I felt better
When someone was hurt You could tell And kept an eye on them In case they needed help
When I felt sad You could tell And gave me kisses Until I smiled
When I needed you You could tell And you were there for me Until the very end
Nurse Jai
When I was asked to care for you I didn't think I'd be able to I had a lot going on But I still couldn't say no
You were excited or sleeping There was no in between Even when your energy was too much I still couldn't say no
For the innumerable times when you were there Exactly when I needed a friend Cuddling me when I was sad or sick I'm so glad I said yes
Even though you're gone And there's a hole in my life I look back on our time with love and joy Forever grateful that I said yes
The Happiest Puppers
I know you're beautiful even though you don't believe it
I know you're worth it even when you don't feel like it
I'm not just here when you're happy I do love it when we smile together When we radiate joy that soon becomes contagious
Even on the days when the people you love aren’t there Know that wherever they are they all still care
(For Lex)
Soft and gentle And oh so beautiful And I get to love you forever
Your mind makes perfect sense Wonderfully neurodivergent I could listen to you forever
I think about you all the time And now I get to call you mine I want to be with you forever
This love for you I feel It's strong and it's real This love is forever
