The Journey with Light

In the realm where shadows fall,  
Where silent echoes rise and call,  
A heart once weary, lost in space,  
Finds a tender, healing grace.

Through the fog of endless night,  
A loyal soul appears in light,  
With fur as soft as morning’s breath,  
A beacon in the dark of depth.

With gentle eyes and knowing gaze,  
It leads through labyrinths of haze,  
A service dog with steadfast heart,  
Becomes the guide, a work of art.

Together on a path unknown,  
In trust, they walk through seeds once sown,  
Through valleys deep and peaks so high,  
They forge a bond that never dies.

Each paw that treads upon the earth,  
Reminds of hope and newfound worth,  
A steadfast friend in every trial,  
A presence calm, a healing smile.

When shadows stretch and spirits tire,  
The dog’s warm gaze can lift and inspire,  
Through every challenge, every fall,  
It’s there to catch and heed the call.

With every step, the heart can mend,  
As fur and soul begin to blend,  
The pain recedes, the light returns,  
And in the heart, a fire burns.

The days of darkness slowly wane,  
Replaced by solace, eased of pain,  
And in the eyes of faithful friend,  
The promise of a brighter end.

From turmoil's grip to dawn’s embrace,  
In every stride, they find their place,  
A dance of healing, side by side,  
In trust and love, they both abide.

So in this tale of heart and grace,  
Where shadows yield to light’s embrace,  
A service dog becomes the key,  
To unlocking peace and setting free.

Through each new dawn, each hopeful start,  
They journey on, a work of art,  
And in their bond, the world’s reborn,  
Where transformation’s light is worn.
