Twist in the Tail

On a bright and windy summer day ..
The house of the Stewarts' made way ..
For the new member .. born a day before ..
Whose little eyes and cute nose the family adored ..

He loved to laugh, fight and play ..
With John and Mary .. he lead a life carefree and gay ..
He rejoiced when Mary fed him with her own hands ..
"How she always read his mind?" he failed to understand ..

But he was not the only one who couldn't speak ..
There was a girl so gentle and meek ..
Mary's first child 'Lisa' .. ten years old ..
With whom he built sand castles ..
Played in the mud, jumped and rolled ..

And time brought him and Lisa closer ..
Together they stayed .. tied in a bond tighter ..
Fate had cruelly left the two to mourn ..
As John and Mary had left them alone ..

Together they grieved for the loss ..
And together they faced the hurdles they came across ..
Neither could speak .. yet both understood one another ..
"I will never leave you"
They silently promised each other ..

Then came a day when Lisa found love ..
And as Lisa got married, he decided to leave ..
But he was glad when Lisa blocked his way ..
"Remember we promised?" her eyes seemed to say ..

He smiled and stayed back as he needed Lisa ..
And Lisa needed as much of 'Him' -
'A friend with tiny eyes.. a wet nose ..
And a twist in the tail'.
