My Dog's Eyes

When I look in my dog’s eyes
My soul pales to compare,
No sign of vice, or pride, or lies
Or sin reside in there.

If eyes are windows to the soul
That show the heart inside,
Then puppy eyes are love filled bowls
That splash from side to side.

When I meet my best friend's stare
And her eyes start to shine,
I only see those things in there
I pray God sees in mine.

Quite a touching poem, Timothy. No question about it - a dog's eyes are special.
