Petful Thinking

I never had my childhood dream come real, 
Nor later I’ve experienced such bond. 
Having a pet, I missed that special feel, 
Of it, I’m sure, I’d be so very fond. 

How would it be if a real pet I had?
Cherished so, tenderly loved and cared for! 
And as much as I’d need that furry bud, 
I’d like to think that it would need me more.

Congratulations on your win. A wonderful write. They give out more love than people do without any hurt/pain until they die. How about getting a cat/dog??? I have Loved them both. Have a blessed day/week writing away....................

of course it would! Pets are so important to me! I have a dog and three cats, and they are my dearest friends. They are there for me, always. And they don't care how I look or how clean my house is... they simply love. Nice poem, friend!

May be one day I will start with one. My older daughter had severe animal dander allergy and asthma. That was it for the other two. No pets:(
