He never judges or turns his back
when all I ever see is black.
He snuggles closest when I am down;
his softness wipes away my frown.

And when I’m happy, he is too;
my joy he multiplies by two.
He never argues when I’m wrong.
His loving gaze makes me feel strong.

And every night as I fall asleep
I know God and Ralph
my soul will keep.
