Not Your Every Day Love Poem
There's someone who adores me and never fails to show,
Just how much I mean to them and always lets me know
How glad they are when I come home at the end of every day.
The love that shines there in those eyes means more than I can say.
A special love like ours you see, is a rarity to find,
Because I'm blessed to find it from someone so sweet and kind,
The others from my past were all the same and now they're gone.
I know this love won't leave me with the coming of the dawn.
Those eyes are so expressive; I look in them and see
A world of love I've never felt except at Momma's knee.
My heart just melts and then I have to pinch myself to prove
That I am not just dreaming, and it's safe to make my move.
I slowly turn to look, and what I see is just a blur…
Four tiny feet come flying…as if to say, "IT'S HER!!
My Mommy's home; and I'm so glad to see her at our door!!
And now I know that I will not be lonely anymore!"
With whimpers of joy, a wiggling body and a wagging tail...
My face is licked again and again, and always without fail,
The love that's shining in those eyes means more to me than ever.
I know that this is one true love that'll stay with me forever.
I may not have the fairy tale romance I've always dreamed of.
No candlelight, champagne or softly whispered words of love.
But, what I have is honest, true and totally unconditional.
Even though some may think a little nontraditional!
The love shown by my puppy is the purest love I know.
No prejudice or judgment will her loving heart bestow.
She doesn't care what color my skin or hair shall be.
She only knows I love her just as much as she loves me.
I'm glad that God has blessed me, by giving her to me.
To love and always care for; right by my side she'll be…
God's trusting me to care for her in this great world of His,
By reminding me forever what TRUE love really is.
For Ruffles, my 4 legged baby
