If my dear you could talk

Or even say a word

The things I'd like to hear you say

and the things that would be heard.

If my friend you could talk

and raise your voice to speak

Oh my the things you'd tell me

about the moments you felt weak.

If my love you could talk

The things that you could say

When I tell you about my problems

Or talk about my day.

You would tell me everything

From your nightmares to your dreams

About running freely in a field

Or playing in a stream.

I know my dear that you can't speak

But honey if you could

I know you'd be so thankful

For the life that's been so good.

So friend please listen closely

Even though you don't know these words

The kisses and the barks

I promise they are heard.

So my friend I know you're mute

I'll tell you this right now.

No matter what life brings us

I'm here to take this vow.

You're not just my pet you're my best friend

And one closest by my side.

I'll listen to you and you'll listen to me

Until the day we say goodbye.

I know that you can't speak or talk

So give me kisses on the hand,

You talk to me in languages

That only some can understand.

I want to thank you for the times

and the memories that we made

and I know you're happy

when your tail begins to wag.

A dogs love is rare and true

You wonder about their minds

their love is the big and their love is great

and you can read it in their eyes.

So even though you cannot talk

or even say a word

I see the things you want to say

and I promise they are heard.
