The Day Rex Saved My Life

We were swimming in the Sevier River One bright and sunny day. Well, let's just say that most of us Were swimming, anyway. I couldn't swim, had not yet learned And so I almost drowned. I slipped into a pool too deep; The current caught me, pulled me down. I almost went to my last sleep But then Rex saved the day. He saw me sink, knew I was lost; Did not think twice that it might cost His own sweet life but dived right in, And put his arm under my chin And pulled me out. He saved my skin. So anything I've ever done from that time forth, He is the one who made it possible. Thank you, my friend!
