A Friend Such As Him

A Friend Such as Him


His Love and Friendship I do not doubt
Never have I once seen him distraught
Not his blood brother, not half related,
He grooms another with teeth serrated.
Grudges in his Heart, has he ever kept?
Spirit does not wane; his Eye never wept.

A serene Slave turning another cheek-

In a Dog a Heart of Patience do seek!


***Inspired by a Dog scratching another- wondering how the hell he would know where he has an itch and for what benefit!
***The only time a human being comes so close, is when he is robbing another!
***Should you bestow your heart to Dogs, you're assured of genuine friendship!
