Heart Filler
by Matthew Taylorthere was a hole in my heart that day,
she, my best one, my friend,
my lab went away...
the hole seemed to get bigger with each passing hour,
tears filled my house like a walking shower..
18 days later, a new friend became family..
it was instant love that rainy saturday morn...
she climbed up my leg, into my arms
a fresh love was born!
my Bailey, my chick-pea, my mini mouse,
my sweet..heart filler, you were sent from above
filled with love, to fill that hole,
not to replace, but a brand new sweet face,
my Bailey-Whale, we will be,
friends for a long time, you and me...
faithfully. 01/17/2007
Author's Note: a thank you to God and a tribute to His provision in ALL situations and a constant remembrance of my best one ever, my Brandi, who will never be replaced, I love you still Branny, you sent a piece of you inside Bailey, thanks big girl, see you one day again, I'm sure.
love your Daddy.
