If you have a cat or a dog my friend
Or a horse or a gold fish
Just you spend
A while each day
Speak softly to
Them and they will perhaps reach you
They will say
Thanks for making me a friend
Without you I would be around the bend
Sad and Lonely no one would care
I am happy that your time you share
With us
