Song information
A true story about a very sad episode in my life as a child. My dad had a mega fallout with my mum, and for the first time in her life. She left him and went to stay at my older sister's Brenda's house/ I was asked to go and get her by my dad. He said go and tell your mother to come and make the dinner. Anyhow she shut the door in my face.. I was too young to understand. she must have been furious. Instead of tell her I'm sorry.....

Lyrics
  Suno remix
80 percent  my own lyrics and 20 percent chatgpt
[Verse 1]
When I was a kid, I had no toys
Just the streets and the other girls and boys
Mama said, “Just bread and jam today”
She tried her best in every way
[Verse 2]
Nine little sisters, five little brothers
I was one of the twins—quiet, like no other
I watched from the side while they had their fun
I was the shadow, the quiet one
[Pre-Chorus]
And I held my hurt behind my eyes
While the world kept spinning outside
[Chorus]
But I had Roger, my old brown dog
He never judged, just wagged along
No meat for him, just scraps from the plate
But he became my one true mate
He barked at strangers walking by
And licked my hand when I would cry
Roger knew what no one could see—
He was the only one who knew me
[Verse 3]
One day Dad said, “Go get your mother”
She’s at Brenda’s house, not with another
With a smile and hope in my small chest
I ran through the dark, doing my best
[Verse 4]
Over the rails, and through the trees
I ran with joy, just feeling free
But when I knocked, she turned away
She shut the door—nothing to say
[Pre-Chorus]
And my little heart began to break
As I walked home for my own sake
[Chorus]
But I had Roger, my faithful friend
He was with me till the very end
No fancy leash, no backyard gate
Just a wagging tail and gentle grace
He barked at strangers walking by
And licked my hand when I would cry
Roger knew what no one could see—
He was the only one who knew me
[Bridge]
Now years have passed, and I look back
At torn-up shoes and empty snacks
But one soft bark, and I still hear
The sound of comfort, always near
[Final Chorus]
I had Roger, my saving grace
He never once left my side or place
In a world so cold, so hard, so wide
He was the warmth I had inside
He barked at strangers walking by
And licked my hand when I would cry
Roger knew what no one could see—
He was the only one who knew me

Although this is partially created by AI, I think it's a lovely song Dorothy. I'm sure AI is going to put many artists out of business but that's the way it goes these days. It's a lovely song.

What a lovely concept! As a huge dog lover, this really warms my heart. 
 I also really appreciate that you added your own touch instead of relying entirely on AI -  it means a lot to see that human element still shining through. 
 As someone who’s been a musician for over 45 years, with formal piano training, I have to admit AI can feel quite daunting. So much effort goes into truly learning and living music, and it’s tough seeing that potentially overlooked. 
 I hope this doesn’t come across as a rant  -  it’s just something I feel strongly about and wanted to share honestly.
