Pawprints On Your Heart

Once you have a furry friend- there is no going back
They make up for a lot in life- that you don't know you lack
They have a way of sneaking up on you- when you think they are asleep
And are the very best ones- your secrets for to keep.

Whether you are a dog person- or your passion is a cat
The pure pleasure you receive from them- really is all that!
If you are not fond of animals- you don't know what you are missing
To me I'd rather have them- than Mr. Right be kissing.

As a young child- you were probably exposed to many a pet
A cute little puppy or kitty- would be my first bet.
Your parents would have instructed you- on the responsibilities a pet owner has to maintain.
With all the rewards a pet gives you- there's many a numerous gain.

Maybe you were much older- when you first experienced "pet" Love
It descends upon you in short bursts- like a gentle floating Dove
Our furry friends sneak into our hearts- leaving several pawprints behind.
They stay with us forever- in our hearts and mind.

There eyes have great depth- and can take your breath away
And once you truly bonded- you know that with them you'll forever stay!
Our furry friends will be with us- through thick and thin
We're more closer to them- than most of our human kin!

When they are sleeping- we wonder what they dream?
Perhaps chasing balls or butterflies- taking a drink from a nearby stream?
Watching them playing and having fun- is really such an exhilarating treat!
It can turn your whole day around- making you feel upbeat.

Our Furry Friends seem to know- when we need them the most
Giving us Love and infinite pleasure- as in our laps they coast
Although for one reason or another- from them we may have to part
I feel totally Blessed and privileged- having numerous "Pawprints on my Heart!"
