Sandra And Fred

Sandra says her dog Fred is her truest friend
Since dogs they are honest and loyal and not known to pretend
And this is only for to give them their due
She knows that Fred's love for her it is true

Sandra in her late sixties married twice to Billy and Ben
Says she is one who has had it with men
Both of them were unfaithful her marriage ended for her in tears
With unfaitful men she regrets she had spent too many years

Vowing she will never again be any man's wife
Sandra at present happy in her life
A recently retired nurse she is ageing with grace
With silver grey hair and without makeup on her beautiful face

Sandra a one time mother to her first husband Billy she gave birth to James her son
But he died in a motor car accident at twenty one
A huge cross of grief to be given to bear
But you never hear her say that life is unfair

Her brown cocker spaniel Fred a beautiful dog to behold
At his physical prime just a three year old
He sleeps on the rug every night on the floor by her bed
She says she feels blessed to have a friend like Fred

Happy to have her dog Fred as a friend
One who will stay true to her until the end
For being kind to him in love her he repay
Far more loving and loyal than humans of dogs one can say.
