Ollie


When he looks at me


With those eyes

all of my worries, just seem to roll right by

with a flick of that smile

and a slick,wet tongue

when he licks my hands

the light in my brain turns on

wash my worries away

with a single woof

saved my life

more times then i can count

darkest days are gone far away

and me and my baby boy

are here to stay
