There's Something About a Boy and His Dog

There's just something about a boy and his dog
That brings my heart pure joy
A dog is a beautiful sight in its own right
But even more wonderful with a boy!

A boy will let a dog lick his face
And share his ice cream or cake
Will let him sit beside him on a rock
And jump with him into the lake.

A boy will roll around in the grass
And not worry if a pup has fleas
Won't mind getting a bit dirty
Or complain about the scratchiness of leaves.

A boy needs a dog that loves to run
A dog that will chase balls and sticks
And you can see the love in a boy's heart
Reflected back in the dog that he picks!

It's Good to be Busy!

It is better to be busy
And have a lot to do
That to have your hands be idle
The whole day through!

It is better to wonder
How you will get things done
Than to sit and worry
About how to have some fun.

It is better to be busy
Even though it can cause a strain
But it keeps you feeling useful
And exercises your brain!
