Pets

They are forever there every time you walk through the door
For without them life is so bare giving back so much more
They are not there to judge only seeking to please
Never holding a grudge as only your goodness he sees 

So faithful and loyal and always by your side
Often we tend to spoil as to me this certainly applied
Taking away our stress in their own loving way
So even when they make a mess well what can you say

A companion, a friend, who never let you down
Our self esteem they mend as around them we rarely frown
But if we do as may sometimes be the case
In there knowing of you they can easily read your face

Extending a paw and then laying by your side
Not knowing what you saw but knowing that you cried
And as he looks up at you, you almost have to think
He's saying I'm here with you completed with a wink

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
