How can it be just a dog?
It can’t be just a dog
There’s no such a thing as just a dog
Dogs are the most loyal and loving beings
They’ll steal your heart the moment you meet
You bring your just a dog home
You fall in-love with dog
Watch him grow from a puppy
You and your new pal go on lifelong adventures
Your just a dog became part of the family
Through drastic breakups
To career changes and
Moving to new places
Even long days hiking and dog parks
When that’s not enough go on long road trips
As the years go on and just a dog slows down
You start to worry
His hair goes white and grey
You know the time is coming
But just one more summer
One more birthday
One more Christmas
One more snowfall
One more car rid
Until you make one more stop
Just one more minute.
Looking back on the years
You wonder if you’re doing the right thing
If you could have one more minute
You remember all the good times you’ve had
With just a dog
When remembering all these adventures
Just a dog was just content with just being with you
It’s okay because it was just a dog

"MULTIVERSE IN TIME"
I chose this song as I have been singing this tune as an eccentric eclectic artist as a woman of 74 years of age. i am not your conventional old lady nor was your conventional young lady. I am a free spirit of sorts. I am empath who have met many patriarchal societies of many men who were so into their manly egos of testosterones without a tear and thought they could control me as a human being. I choose to walk in the light, to care about humanity. If that is political or Godly and they don't like that about me so, be it. It is a good day today. This was written because it's not all about me, but other women in the same situations.
