A Favorite Old Song

This is one of my very favorite old songs, and very appropriate for this time in my life...it came to mind the instant I saw this picture of Harley and Jack.

Lean On Me
By Bill Withers


Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long'
Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don't let show

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me

So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Lean on me...

Extra special thanks to those of you who I have been leaning extra hard on lately. You know who you are I and I love you for being there.

Hi Sue! I'm at the Visitor's Center with mommy and she was talking to some folks(from Port Townsend,WA) about me and they have a Golden...She showed them your blog and they loved the pic at the top!! Hope you're having a good day.
Lots of sloppy WelshieKisses,

I love that old song as well. Makes me cry to see it used in a television commercial.
