How can I do rescue with a babe in the house?

It’s just me and the dogs here, I don’t have a spouse

I promise to keep you out of harm’s way

I must find the courage, I’ll just have to pray

 

A sweet little babe, never asking to be born

Then out of your own mother’s arms you were torn

Spending time with many people, all strangers to you

Not knowing each day where you’ll be or with who

 

So this I promise you my sweet little girl

I’ll hold you and love you no matter what life may hurl

We’ll figure a way to make it through each new day

Even at my age, I’m sure I can learn how to play

 

My dogs will help keep you safe from all harm

No strangers will ever step foot on our farm

When here you will feel nothing but love

We’ll have lots of guidance from God up above

 

The dogs take turns guarding your crib

When they aren’t distracted by chewing your bib

Your dropping of toys out your bed must stop

I’m constantly running around with the mop

 

The sharing of food is not a good choice

Or you will hear Grandma’s scolding voice

They must learn to wait and just sit by your side

Not wait for your droppings in mouths open wide

 

The pulling of lips and ears is such fun

Apparently they love it or they’d get up and run

But no, they keep sticking their face back for more

The sound of your laughter sounds out like a roar

 

But with strange new dogs I’ll need extra care

Of potential dangers I am very aware

I need to learn what they would do

If they were left alone with you

 

So I will never take that chance

Even if they seem safe at first glance

The weather’s nice, they can play outside

While we alone our time abide

 

They can come in when you’re asleep

Safe from each other I must keep

You from them and them from you

This is surely what I’ll need to do
