Apollo's Anthem

(Verse 1) There’s a big, bold Bernese with a heart that's gold, Paws like thunder, a story to be told. Apollo’s his name, with a spirit so grand, A mountain of love in the palm of your hand. He roams through the yard with a jovial trot, Chasing down twigs, whether you like it or not. His eyes hold a mischief, but his heart’s all grace, With a slobbery kiss thrown right at your face. (Chorus) Apollo, oh Apollo, with your fur so fine, You might think you’re a lapdog, but you’re a mountain canine. From the tip of your nose to your wagging end, You’re not just my pet, you’re my very best friend. (Verse 2) He’ll look up at you with those big brown eyes, And you can’t help but give in to those heartfelt sighs. A nudge of his nose, a paw for a play, Apollo’s way of brightening up your day. Whether sun or rain, he’s ready to go, Leaves or snowflakes, he loves them so. But when you sit down, he thinks it's the spot, To plop right on you, thinking he’s not a lot. (Verse 3) He’s a gentle giant, with a bark so deep, Guarding his family, even in his sleep. A companion, a protector, so loyal and true, Apollo’s love is pure, and his heart’s always through. So here’s to the dog who tries to sit on your knee, Though he’s bigger than most, he’s as sweet as can be. With each twig he munches, each hand he licks, He’s woven into our lives, an incredible mix. (Chorus) Apollo, oh Apollo, with your fur so fine, You might think you’re a lapdog, but you’re a mountain canine. From the tip of your nose to your wagging end, You’re not just my pet, you’re my very best friend. (Outro) In the book of my life, with pages to fill, Apollo writes chapters with each loving thrill. For in the heart of this home, where laughter rings free, Apollo’s the soul, forever will be.
