Oh Aly, this is from Willow to you:

I was scared, so scared when you met me
I didn't know, not at all
What to do, what to say
I was scared, so scared, of everyone,
But you came, and I knew it'd be okay.

You took me home
How nice that was -
No scary shelter dogs or nosy people
You gave me love -
Now how was that?
How did you know I needed it?
How did you see beyond my scruffiness,
My trembliness, my shakiness,
Willows to tremble at the littlest breeze, you know,
How did you know that if you loved me
I'd learn to be okay?

And then she came, that nice lady,
And her arms fit around me -
Just as nice as yours do!
How strange was that that a second someone
Could know I needed love, know right away?
How nice her lap felt, so soft and comforting
And I knew she needed me
Just like I needed you, needed her.

But you will always have a place in my little heart
You might not know it, but it's big enough to fit you all,
And though you cried, you know I still love you
And you taught me it's okay
I can be safe
I can be calm
I can be brave and
I can be loved!
You taught me all that
And I love you,

And my new lady, she loves you too,
Because you brought us together,
And I'm happy here
And she's so nice
And she loves me, too!
How nice is that?
How strange is that?
All this love for little me!

Love you both,

Willow
