SOPHIE AND GRACIE

Eight years ago in April and November,
These two months I will always remember.

When I saw Sophie I fell in love,
So tiny this baby could sleep in my glove.

I loved this puppy more every day,
But all alone she had to play.

Before to long I said to pappy,
I really don't think Sophie is happy.

She needs a friend to run and play,
And grow together each and every day.

When Christmas came that very year,
One special gift made me brush away a tear.

Pappy handed me another sweet little girl,
And that day Gracie entered my world.

Now Sophie and Gracie are eight years old,
My two little girls, more precious than gold.

I love them more each passing day,
And thank God for bringing them my way.
