Imprints

Those who love who we love also feel the loss we feel

By Ashley ClarkPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Our best friends leave

imprints on us,

paw prints on our hearts.

And when others can

love them like we do,

care for them like we do,

not only do they leave paw prints on your heart too,

but you leave handprints on theirs.

That's a special kind of kindness.

This gift you give every day

does not go unnoticed,

and in this hard time,

I just wanted you to know,

I see you.

I am grateful for you.

You are a home away from home.

And any friend,

of my BEST friends,

is a friend of mine.
