My Friend … I have a friend, she gave me sight, And turned my darkness into light

Guides my steps with human care. Her eyes and life with me will share.

She taught me how blindness could be won Without the aid of light and sun.

And gave me confidence once more. My lovely country to explore.

She asks so little, yet knows so much. And will respond to my slightest touch.

God grant that we may always blend. My Faithful dog, my noble friend.
