Furbaby

The story of a mother's love, and daily sacrifices you willingly make for a tiny life placed in your care, regardless of species

By The RosePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

It's worn like a badge of honour

With a sense of motherly pride

It's become my favorite accessory

From your 'glitter' there's nowhere to hide

It's a symptom of loving you darling

Each smooch and each hug you bestow

You leave behind sprinkles of stardust

And I leave the house covered in snow

Though my world once looked a lot neater

My blacks black, and my bed hairfree

I exchanged that world for a better one

Full of love, fluff, fun, you and me

And I really don't mind all the cleaning

And I've always looked good in fur

It's worth every moment and sacrifice

When you curl up beside me and purr

The Rose

I have been writing poetry since a very young age. I don't usually share, but I thought I would get some of it out into the world.
