Constance La France Poet Verse

Forevermore and Eternally

 

There are many kinds of love and adoration,
Each one amazing, beautiful and remarkable;
But there is one pure, untainted and true love.

The unconditional, unrestricted love of a pet

They come into our lives quietly and gently,
And without warning they capture our hearts;
Be it a cat, dog, bird, it does not matter really.

There is no secret covert protection to stop it

And whether it be a short time or many years,
We are shattered when they quietly leave us;
With a whisper they are gone to another place.

And we are left empty, hollow and heartbroken

The price of this pure and true genuine love,
Is the agony, the aching of grief and the tears;
This is a love that endures and prevails beyond.

And with the sorrow, the happiness dwells also 


"Sealed in our hearts forevermore and eternally."

Casarah Nance September 3, 2014 at 6:54 AM That is so true, I love the love you speak of. Before I had my baby we sheltered displaced cats and dogs until a suitable home could be found. Their love is unconditional. Great poem sweetie, and great win :) Constance La France September 6, 2014 at 6:04 PM Thank you Casarah, I could never just shelter a cat or dog, I would fall in love for sure and have a house full of animals in no time ~~

Carrie Richards August 29, 2014 at 11:37 AM The adoration that comes from the animal world, is unmatched ! I agree.....they love without strings attached, something that we try to achieve, but never quite accomplish! Lovely poem, Constance! Constance La France August 30, 2014 at 9:09 AM TU Carrie, o the love of a pet is amazing, they want so little from us, my cat pets me with her paw, so gently, each time it almost brings me to tears because she is so old and weak ~~
