An Ode to a Love of My Life
I turn over at night to feel his warmth
by my side.
The presence is steady and reassuring
His kisses make my heart sing.
When I'm sick he never leaves my side
Unless it is to deliver my inhaler
(if I left it where he can find it)
by my side.
The presence is steady and reassuring
His kisses make my heart sing.
When I'm sick he never leaves my side
Unless it is to deliver my inhaler
(if I left it where he can find it)
He walks with me
If I fall,
I can lean on him to help me get up.
If I need more help,
he'll go get it.
The look in his eyes melts my heart.
I love him.
He loves me.
He is my protector,
He shares my joys,
He knows my pain,
He accepts me without judging,
He is ever loyal and ever faithful.
But then what do you expect,
From a canine friend?
