Sarah Cope Poet Rhyme

A Dog's Day and Depression

It's his smile that gets me through, 
I wonder if he no's what his smile can do,
He gives so much so willingly,
without question without doubt, so freely 
and then he asks for so little in return
Unlike the greed of our mere humanity 
His unconditional love for me 
Is unquestionably undeniable to see
He can see through my mask so easily 
The brave face this warriors worn daily 
And he simply smiles and it slips away
But he's right next to me and will stay
Then everything doesn't seem so awful 
As you look at that goofy smile so loveable
It's ok if the tears begin to fall,
He will catch them all as they trickle 
Cuddles aren't in short supply neither 
No matter how many you require either 
And when you're feeling better
He'll take you for a stroll through nature,
Smiling tongue hanging tail wagging 
he's been a good boy so he'll get a treat
Because hes just saved me again from defeat 
He simply smiles back at me as I'm thinking it through 
I wonder if he truly knows how his smile saves me constantly on the daily to

Jeff Kyser October 16, 2022 at 6:53 AM Pets are certainly a gift. I'm a dog person too - understand and enjoyed it. Sometimes I think they give us a lesson in how our relationships should be and help us fill in the holes when they aren't as they should be. Sarah Cope October 16, 2022 at 8:48 AM Thankyou for your lovely comment Jeff, oh they certainly do teach us a lesson there unwaivering devotion to us and they just love us unconditionally. My little patch has saved my life I can honestly say I genuinely don't think I'd be here if it wasn't for him and that's why I wrote this little poem in honour of his loyalty and love.
