I Ain't Bovveréd

A Loan From God

God promised at the birth of time,
A special friend to give,
His time on earth is short, he said,
So love him while he lives.

It may be six or seven years,
Or twelve or then sixteen,
But will you, till I call him back,
Take care of him for me?

A wagging tail and cold wet nose,

And silken velvet ears,
A heart as big as all outdoors,
To love you through the years.

His puppy ways will gladden you,
And antics bring a smile,
As guardian or friend he will,
Be loyal all the while.

He’ll bring his charms to grace your life,
And though his stay be brief,
When he’s gone the memories,
Are solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return,
But lessons only a dog can teach,
I want you each to learn.

Whatever love you give to him,
Returns in triple measure,
Follow his lead and gain a life,
Brim full of simple pleasure.

Enjoy each day as it comes,
Allow your heart to guide,
Be loyal and steadfast in love,
As the dog there by your side.

Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call,
To take him back again?

I fancy each of us would say,
“Dear Lord, thy will be done,
For all the joy this dog shall bring,
The risk of grief we’ll run.

“We’ll shelter him with tenderness,
We’ll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we’ve known,
Forever grateful stay.

“But shall the angels call for him,
Much sooner than we’ve planned,
We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes,
And try to understand.

my dog who has been with me for more than half my life almost died today.

I’m pretty sure it’s almost his time since he’s really old now and it just makes me cry every time I think about it. I’ll be graduating college in 2 years and he’s been with me since I was in kinder. I literally grew up with him. He actually stopped breathing for 5 seconds until my dad was able to revive him. I love him so much and all jokes aside, I legit wanna have him stuffed when he dies. It may be creepy but somehow it may make me feel better.

"That’s why you should take time when it comes to dating, WHEN IT STARTS FAST, IT ENDS FAST"

I actually did this in my junior year for my then boyfriend. Ugh. High school shit.

How he talks about his parents is really cute. It makes him so husband material. lol

Every time I go to Darren’s youtube account I just wanna cry

It reminds me of how far he’s gotten and I just feel so proud
