Ipanema,
I once had a wonderful dog.
He coat was smooth and shiny
He was very big and very brown
He weighed, at least, a hundred pounds.
And Bodie was his name.
I raised him up, from a baby.
Took him off to puppy school
The best one there, is what I'll say
Such a Proud Mama, if I may,
He was the finest dog.
I loved him well. I loved him strong.
And he loved me so, in return
He was loyal. He was funny
And always sweet. The finest Honey!
We had so much fun!
But time went by and took it's toll
White whiskers there, on his face.
It was tired that he grew
Finally the day came and I just knew
And then my poor heart broke.
I took the dear love he gave me
And held it to my heart.
He enriched my life so grandly,
I can't and don't remember him sadly.
I think only of the good.
My Bodie
