Unconditional Love
I will never forget the cold fateful day my son said,
Hey mom, can I have a dog so we can play.
After much thought and laying down the rules,
We stopped by our local animal shelter one day after school.
Harley was a high spirited handful right from the start,
He had boundless energy but a gentle heart.
Our Golden Retriever a fence would not keep him in,
He would run away from home time and time again.
The passage of time seems to have mellowed our boy,
He is such a sweetheart it's hard not to spoil.
The years have passed quickly and he has slowed down,
But the love he has shown us still abounds.
I can hardly fathom the thought of his life ever coming to an end,
Our loyal, faithful, forever friend.
Harley has been a joy, a gift from the start,
Our sweet boy who will always have a piece of our heart.
