'"Puppy Love"
I do not know how he came by the nickname puppy love, I was not there. But the more I thought about the name, I realized that it fit Timmy perfectly. He embodied all of the wonderful things we love about puppies, made real in the life of a man.
A PUPPIES LOVE........
Puppies are warm and energetic, you can’t help but crack a smile
When all their doing is enjoying life, being just puppies all the while
Puppies are one bundle of love, offered to everyone for free
Puppies meet no strangers, friends to both you and me
Puppies never let life get them down, worrying about their day
They only wanted to enjoy God’s Gift of life, and occasionally go out to play
Timmy was a joy to be around. He could brighten up a room, with a smile, his laugh, a joke.
We and the world will surely miss that, “PUPPY LOVE”!
