The Soul of a Dog

I wish...

I had the soul of a dog.

That I might forgive freely,
And truly forget,
That I might love without reservation
And without regret,

That I might find joy in the moments,
Even those with pain,
That I might find serenity
In a warm sunbeam.

I would never forget to savour 
The presence of a friend.
I would always show my family 
my love, until the end.

Yes, I wish I had the soul of a dog,
Yet I ask not for the sweet heart,

For I already have one,
And we two shall never part.
