That Loyal Love

One shouldn’t be presumptuous, I know this all too well
But I’ve seen such fidelity and love as strong as hell
I’ve felt adoring eyes on me, her heart and mine are tied
Even when distracted I can feel her by my side

I’d never click my fingers like I’m beckoning a waiter
But if I did she’d be there ‘NOW’ and not sooner or later
I feel unworthy of the way she idolises me
I’m an ordinary fella, which I hope she’ll never see

Sometimes she is barred from places that we’d like to visit 
But we’ll eat takeout in the park and it will be exquisite 
She’s always there for me, forever at my beck and call 
Yet all she ever asks of me… is that I throw her ball

CayCay Godwin March 23, 2025 at 2:32 PM For me, this poem combined with your picture, generated a reel playing the feel I have for my beloved German Shepherd. Gone for 40 years, I still see him as clear as ever and will miss him less ... never. Loyal, oh, so loyal ... CayCay Terry Flood March 25, 2025 at 8:26 AM Thank you CayCay. I don’t think we ever forget our loyal furry friends. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

Andrea Dietrich March 23, 2025 at 12:14 AM Ha. So cute I started thinking it wasn't a woman at beginning of verse 3 Terry Flood March 25, 2025 at 8:23 AM Thank you, Andrea. I think I might have been in bother if I’d even suggested I’d click my fingers to beckon a lady. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

Paula Goldsmith March 22, 2025 at 7:21 PM I love this write. She is a people in a fur coat. FAV for me. "Good Luck" A winner for me. Have a blessed and fun weekend writing away.............. Terry Flood March 25, 2025 at 8:17 AM Thank you, Paula. And thanks also for the fave. Terry

Jan Allison March 22, 2025 at 5:53 PM aww Terry, I knew there would be a twist in the 'tale' what a fabulous tribute to man's best friend. hugs jan xx Terry Flood March 22, 2025 at 5:58 PM Surely, the love that a dog has for his master/owner/dad is the most loyal love of all. Tara, our last Shepherd, lived at my heel. I couldn’t step back without looking behind me first. Glad you enjoyed, Jan. Terry
