Your such an inspiration to me,
without you, I couldn't handle life.




So many up and downs I have,
it would be too much strife.



Hardly anything seems to bother you,
you just take things in stride.
Anytime something does happen,
it just bounces off your hide.



Like the day my mother visited us
with a bag full of live fish.
She accidentally dropped them on the floor
you just scooped them up with a dish



Now if you hadn't been there
I would've flipped
but you laughed so hard you slipped.



Then there was the day,
the fondue, caught on fire.
You threw it out the door,
and then, we watched it expire.

I don't know what I would have done,
probably stood there in shock.
Maybe run out of the house
and run around the block.



I know, I never handle
things the same as you.
If I didn't have you around,
who knows what I would do.
