Boy meets girl they fall in love Their hearts both flutter like the wings of a dove Gifts for the future make them smile As hand in hand they walk down the aisle Happiness and love they betroth to each other And one day she hopes to become a mother They struggle on year by year Yet their lives are still happy and full of good cheer Their family has now grown by three But to have a child was not meant to be Two dogs and a cat share their home With the freedom within the garden all three of them roam.
But life is not always as sweet as a rose And before long the factories start to close They carry on in their chosen careers But times are hard and they are soon in arrears An overdraft is a peace of mind To pay the mortgage and bills of every kind Then one of them falls ill To raise the overdraft was a bitter pill More and more bills to pay Was security ever going to come their way Things go from bad to worse No more pennies left in the purse One of the dogs is taken ill All the cash gone to pay the vets bill They struggle on their lives of strife Yet dedicated they remain as man and wife Always living on the edge Remembering their vows that they did pledge.
Christmas a time of happiness and cheer A companion lost the occasional tear Our two dogs are now just one Forever in paradise our doggy son
