There you are,
All decked out,
Ready as always
For the festivities
Set out,
And all about
Us
As we travel, you,
And I,
Toward another year,
But, first,
Christmas is here,
And we’ll celebrate
Together,
No matter the weather,
Because
You’re always there,
My friend,
On which I can rely
Even when
I’m not feeling
All that well,
And I sigh
In frustration, you
Come, and check
On me,
Nuzzling your head
Against my hand,
Waiting
For the mood
To change from
Bad to good,
And what
do you know?
The mood shifts,
Because you are swift
In your ways,
Knowing just what’s
Needed
To change the tide
It’s always the same
With you and I,
Let’s just say it’s so,
You’re my companion
My hero, best friend
And champion
