Without Words

It was early and this just came to me. I had to write it...
--------------
years of being saved and protecting loved ones
his turned to be protected, held, and hugged.
from cage to crying to being brought home
in the blink of an eye he's no longer alone

and neither are you, feeling protected is one
now this weapon of choice equates to a gun
Walk him through the park, your bound to hear a bark
cause no ones getting close to his saviours heart

pridefull and strong, he finally belongs
worry from the family about his anger is gone
nips at a kid or two, but who are you to judge
his dedication to your life, you're not holding a grudge

he's more than a dog, he's truly one of us
his attitude and character feel free to discuss
been with you through it all, and truly understands
that his role in this house is to act like the man

but now that he's older he's needing a hand
make him feel protected loved and grande
but make no mistake cause he's still the man
in his eyes is strength and respect he demands

Now the roles have reversed and he needs you
more than he thinks and more than you know
your love for innocence means that you'll hold true
and hold him when he's weak, it's the least you can do

In his eyes is strength and in yours is love.
When these cross paths, it's when you rise above
and the pride in his eyes is his internal disguise
for the love for you that he kept protected inside

so protect him now and stand by his side
and forget all else from the world outside
nothing really matters but this innocent life
Kimo is the man who's touched many lives
