Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You pack lunches every morning I stack kibble in a bowl You drop kids off at that big red door I walk mine down the gravel road You frame every first-day picture I save collars, tags, and chewed-up shoes You call their names across that playground I whistle, and mine come running too [Chorus] My kids have paws, yours go to school But I’d go hungry for them just like you I held them as babies, tiny and new Heart wide open, learning what love can do You’d die for yours, I’d die for mine too My kids have paws But they’re my whole world, same as you [Verse 2] You stay up through fevers and night terrors I stay up through storms and thunder shakes You count bruises, I count scratches We both pray, “Lord, keep ’em safe” You got finger paint on Sunday shirts I got muddy prints on my best boots Two different lives on two front porches But the same fire burning in our roots [Chorus] My kids have paws, yours go to school But I’d go hungry for them just like you I held them as babies, tiny and new Heart wide open, learning what love can do You’d die for yours, I’d die for mine too My kids have paws But they’re my whole world, same as you

country, Warm modern country ballad with male vocals, gentle acoustic strum and brushed kit, subtle pedal steel swells. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d; chorus lifts with a simple kick pattern, harmony on key lines, and a small organ pad. Final chorus leans into emotional grit and held notes, ending on a soft guitar ring.
