four leggeds love us unconditionally

there was no mistake
when man used the alphabet
to name dog after God

the four-leggeds love us unconditionally
expecting nothing,
giving their all

they follow us around
hoping for a tiny pet or an accepting nod

they love to sleep with us
or beside us, or next to us
or just sleep somewhere

dreaming of the next grassy hill
with wild flowers, and a log to jump over
expecting nothing more than a smile from their master
