Notes About The Poem

A Pet Can Steal Your Heart

“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.” Anatole France, French Poet

A pet can steal your heart.
The dog that you brought home
who always wants to play
is one you come to know
you’ll never give away

A pet can steal your heart.
A precious kitty cat
at night curls up with you -
if ever she gets sick,
there’s nothing you won’t do.

A pet can steal your heart.
It doesn’t matter if
it’s very big or small
because when you are hooked,
you’ll give that pet your all.

A pet can steal your heart.
I know this truth because
when my dear pets passed on,
I sadly realized
bits of my heart were gone.
