Our Compassionate Pets

they cuddle
they purr
they run toward our tears

they show us they understand
not through words 
but through actions

our dearest friends
sometimes our only real family
the ones who care 

who do not avoid us when
times get rough or we get angry
to hide sadness

Pets are so important. I am told you live longer if you have a dog. I am considering a kitten. I don't know. What do you think?

GET a dog, a cat, a chameleon, a lion, a tiger, a bear and an alligator is my advice. People live longer with pets.
