so much depends
upon
a blue-eyed dog
who cares for you when you're lost and lonely
even in the darkest of times
dogs are there with you all the way through
something I will never have .
so much depends
upon
a word
they can pierce you sharp as knives
or they can soar into your heart
everyone knows words are more powerful than swords
it just depends on what you say.
so much depends
upon
a smile
smiles are signs of gratitude
remember that new student in your class?
a smile tells you that you are now their friend
a smile can tell you things that words cannot
sometimes apologies can't be explained in words
a smile could mean "i'm so sorry, could you please forgive me?"
we are so lucky that people smile in this world
aren't we?

You will never own your own dog? Are you sure? What about when you're a grown-up?

Yeah, I probably will own a dog when I grow up, but for now, my mom thinks they're too much work!
