My Precious Buttons


What would I do without you
My precious fury friend?
Part mischief but all blessing
and faithful to the end.

You look at me with eyes of love
you never hold a grudge....
You think I’m far to wonderful
to criticize or judge.

It seems your greatest joy in life
is being close to me...
I think God knew how comforting
that you will be to me.

Sometimes I can swear you’re human
even though that is not true...
The world would be a nicer place
If folks were more like you.

A few short years are all we have:
One day we’ll have to part...
But you, my pet, will always have
A place within my heart!
