#24 Heart Wants What it Wants

[Verse]

In the rearview mirror, the old road faded slow,

Four hearts were laughing as the wheels began to roll.

From quiet courtyards where mothers gently sighed,

Pups left their first homes with a soft, unspoken cry.

The car filled with promise, windows streaked with light,

New families forming in the glow of fading night.

[Chorus]

Oh, the heart wants what it wants, beyond all reason’s call,

An invisible thread that binds us, one and all.

From wagging tails to open arms, in trust we find our way,

Humans and their faithful dogs, together every day.

Through joy and bittersweet goodbyes, the bond will never break,

In every paw that finds a hand, new love begins to wake.

[Verse]

Momma watched her little pups nap in the hay,

A mother’s tender worry on that quiet, heavy day.

The courtyard fell silent once the last car drove away,

Yips turned to echoes in the barn where puppies lay.

Yet each farewell carried hope on wings of gentle wind,

A puppy’s leap of faith to where new journeys begin.

Husky and Lab pups, and many more before,

Found hands that promised love forevermore.

[Chorus]

Oh, the heart wants what it wants, beyond all reason’s call,

An invisible thread that binds us, one and all.

From wagging tails to open arms, in trust we find our way,

Humans and their faithful dogs, together every day.

Through joy and bittersweet goodbyes, the bond will never break,

In every paw that finds a hand, new love begins to wake.

[Verse]

Two furry travelers curled up, heads upon their laps,

Healing every hidden scar with tiny puppy naps.

The bond defies all logic, poets fail to name,

A pack reborn in living rooms, no longer wild or tame.

From barn to backseat, farm to family door,

Each connection deeper than the ones that came before.

Paws and hearts forever, through the years that lie ahead,

In every walk and quiet night, the love we share is bread.

Rotties, Shepherds, and the thousands gone before,

Remind us what it means to love, and to be loved once more.
