Bailey (The Reason That We Stay) .................. By: Scarfecrow76

((I kind of had fun with the little girl who was the subject of the last post but wanted everyone know what a wonderful side there is of the little rascal too.>




Bailey is my friend but belongs to someone else.
She is so loyal to a fault and in that is loyal to herself.
She knows when my heart is good and when sometimes I'm pushed to wrath.
Even when she wants to be left alone, she still loves her dad.
She loves that I will run with her even when it hurts and I fall.
No matter how mad she get's at me, it's only the good that she recalls.
She loves it when I am happy and sometimes cries when she sees me sad.
In her mind she has me and I am happy to be had.
Bailey is an angel, and she likes when we're alone.
Though we don't have our friends anymore she's content with what we know.
She still has her family at the end of each night and day.
Even though none of us get along, she's the reason that we stay.

Bailey loves to chase the squirrels though they dwarf her in size.
Even if you get mad at her she will melt you with her pretty eyes.
She makes us all believe that she's a mountain that can crush us with a single blow.
But everyone learns that she can be the sweetest thing that anyone could ever know.
She really get's that I try so hard to just not fall apart.
She sees me for my heart and that's where her opinion starts.
She shows me kindness that most won't give even if it is giving back.
There is so much that she doesn't understand and she's OK with that.
Bailey is an angel, and she likes when we're alone.

Bailey is a blessing to the world, more to our's than she could ever see.
One day everything that we've all been through now will be lost to memory.
But she will never forget anyone or any of the kindnesses that she's shared.
She is the love that we don't want to lose or leave out of anything anywhere.
Though she can be and is a tyrant at times she embodies something sweet.
We never would give her up and say it was worth getting us off of the street.
She's the reason that we have stayed anywhere close to sane as long as we have out here.
We pray the light in her heart filled pretty eyes will never disappear.
