Puppy Love

I can only hope To one day be, As loyal to you As you are to me. You're always here, And will be Till the very end. I never have to question Your motives Or intentions. You are comfort, You are protection, And your constant admiration Never tires me. You've taught me Life's hardest lessons— Patiently, without aggression. Your heart is pure, A true example Of what love— Real love—should be. More than just A companion, Something I can’t Entirely fathom. You leave me always asking, "Who am I, That you would treasure me?" How is it That this canine Shows so much more Of the divine Than many of us In humanity? Everything I could Ever need. And have you ever stopped To see— If you did, you’d realize: God is just Dog Spelled backward. Now, that’s what I call True irony.
