Standing guard through the centuries
At the foot of the bed no less
Ever eager, just to please
~
He’ll play and make a mess
But how much he loves you
You’ll never have to guess
~
Unmistakably, a friend forever true
He will rise to your defense
Against a man or a tiny shrew
~
Trust him too, and in his sense
Of all that’s good or bad
Notice to whom he takes offense
~
Man’s best friend, the best I’ve had
Immortalized in oil paint
Standing by me forever, both of us glad

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
