I Feel Safe

"I feel safe with you, totally.
No one makes me feel more secure than you do 
whenever you are with me,
and so I submit myself to you willingly,
fully exposing to you all of my vulnerabilities,
knowing that you will never hurt me and always protect me.
It is only because of you and your loyalty to me
that makes me feel so tranquil, so complete.
You never let me go hungry, provide me with comfort I can't believe,
very rarely do you ever turn away my company,
and at those times when I see you helpless and weak,
I will assume your leadership responsability
and try to make you feel safe again, like you always did me,
I willingly give to you my undying loyalty,
because I always feel safe with you, whenever you are with me."

 - The above is how animals think and why they do the things they do.
It's the equivalent of humans saying to one another,  "I Love You."

Animals are a gift. This reminds me of my Dog chief a beautiful Big Golden Retriever. He was my son. I have a hard time writing this just thinking about my best friend. Beautiful write.
