Hi everyone, welcome to Hive Openmic week #191, I'm @adyma
For this week, I will be doing a song by Whitney Houston titled "I will always love you"
I thought of a song to present for this week's theme "Beautiful pets" then I remembered this sweet song that I like singing when my dog was sown out.
My dog's name was lucky, Lucky stayed with us for a year and six months and she became my closet friend to a point that she would want to follow me to everywhere I would go both to church, school, peer gathering and even to the farm.
I enjoyed my Dogs company, whenever I'm bored, I play with my dog, we were close to an extent that she would always want to be around me. Her company kept me going though some of siblings didn't like her because they don't like dogs, stating that dogs steal a lot so they wouldn't let her close to them. One day their thoughts came to pass.
It was on my brother's birthday, my mother had gone to the market to get food stuffs for the house and also many meats for my brother's birthday celebration. We started preparing the items for food including the meat my mom bought. A few moments later, an emergency occured we ran out to attend to it. Coming back Lucky finished the whole meat in the pot. My mom was so angry that she intended selling the dog even after beating.
I cried 😭😭 as my pet will be taken away, I pleaded and pleaded but all to no avail. Until that faithful day when I came back from school and realized that they have sown the dog, I burst into tears. I starting singing this song for her "I will always love you" I mourned for weeks and later decided to let go. Things are meant to come and go.
I decided to share this song with us, I hope will enjoy.
Song lyrics
I Will Always Love You"
(originally by Dolly Parton)
(from "The Bodyguard" soundtrack)
If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
You
My darling, you
Mmm-mm
Bittersweet memories –
That is all I'm taking with me
So good-bye
Please don't cry:
We both know I'm not what you, you need
