I'm sitting here all by myself
No one around to help me
When all at once to my relief
A face appears beside me

It's not my mom or my dad
My sister or my brother
It's a face I've learned to trust
A face that's like no other

My service dog to lend a paw
A nudge, a lick, a bark alert
She's here to put my mind at rest
To ease the fear and soothe the hurt

My life has been forever changed
I'll never be the same again
For an angel sits beside my chair
My very special service friend.
