Oh gentle spirit of my heart You've taught me all I need to know You lean on me I lean on you And both of us have watched you grow
From a tiny pup safe in my arms The journey we began as one We'd never let you come to harm For you are ours, our heart, our love
These days we take things slowly so For you are frail and oh I know And you are with me, just to care My precious soul, you're always there
The person I was meant to be Is in your eyes when you look back at me I found in you the love I need You made my heart a place of peace
Older now we share our days We pass our time in simple ways We walk together, you and I You've brought us joy and changed our lives
For nobody could love you more When you and I are feeling sore We sleep and dream, our hearts as one And walk the beach forever young
Trust and faith and a spirit wise Lingers in your gentle eyes The one we love and hold so true For us that love belongs to you
One love in a lifetime One love in a lifetime One love for a lifetime One love, for all time...
I see the beauty of life in you In every moment your light shines through You're the missing piece I could not see And I am blessed because you love me You love me, you love me...

A song for Sian and Gavin for their wonderful dog Custard, which was written as part of a fund raising project 'song in a million' for rescue dogs in the care of DDA Watch. Sian wrote the most heart-touching letter about Custard's happy life when she and Gavin took this beautiful dog into their lives and hearts as a young and adorable pup. Now, many years later Custard is a wise and loving, gentle soul who makes friends wherever he goes and he has given many children confidence because he is so calm and peaceful to be around. Paul and I had the greatest pleasure of meeting Custard at the DDA Watch 'No Voice No Choice' fund raising event in Surrey on August 6th 2011 and he made a huge impact on us, sitting beside him and looking into his beautiful and much loved eyes was an unforgettable moment and I hope we will meet this lovely companion dog again in the future.
We created a song from the inspiration of Sian's expressive words in return for a donation direct to DDA Watch to help the 'Magnificent Seven' rescue dogs reach a happy future.

beautiful performance, very emotional, and very emotional for me for someone who lives with his dog, I know they are much more than pets, they're friends and family with faithfull and loving. Great musical production with sophisticated arrangements, classic Maria, I'd love to get a copy of this track for my Mixposure radio show, The Ride, if you can I'd appreciate it and the listeners also,
borduas.p@videotron.ca , thanks.
