My Five-Pound Bodyguard

memorial · 5:09 · September 6, 2026

This soul-stirring memorial ballad honors the extraordinary bond between a devoted pet and the three hearts he called home — passed with love from one family member to the next, carrying warmth and memory with every step of his tiny paws. Set to a rich R&B and soul arrangement that builds from tender piano to sweeping strings and organ, the song captures the faithful, floor-to-ceiling devotion of a five-pound guardian who never once left his person's side. A deeply personal tribute wrapped in universal love, it offers the comforting belief that Heaven holds our beloved companions close — and that their pawprints remain on our hearts forever.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The house is quiet now tonight An empty bed, a fading light I still can hear those little feet Come running, faithful, quick and sweet Eight years of love, so pure, so true My little boy, I'm missing you [Chorus] My five-pound bodyguard, standing by my side My little boy called Fess, my joy, my pride Heaven may hold you now, but this I know Your pawprints on my heart will never go [Verse 2] You started out as Momma's own Seven years, her baby, grown She'd call for Kenny down the hall And you'd go barking, answer all Then Kenneth passed you on to me A piece of Momma's heart set free [Chorus] My five-pound bodyguard, standing by my side My little boy called Fess, my joy, my pride Heaven may hold you now, but this I know Your pawprints on my heart will never go [Bridge] Every room I walked, you followed near Even by the bathroom, always here No judgment and you never left me lone You made a house become a home [Verse 3] I picture Momma waiting there Calling your name through Heaven's air She lifts you up, holds you again Her baby loved and safe till then And still I feel you watching me My guardian through eternity [Chorus] My five-pound bodyguard, standing by my side My little boy called Fess, my joy, my pride Heaven may hold you now, but this I know Your love, your pawprints, never let me go [Outro] I love you, Little Fess. You will always be my little boy. Keep watching over me until we meet again.
