Pawprints For Devotion

Verses for My Canine Crew

Duke, Sadie, Tiger and Lady- Author's Photo

When my eyes met yours,

A tide wave of love,

And happiness by the scores,

Warms my beating heart from just your hug.

***********

Loyal and devoted,

My shadowy followers,

Your faithfulness is noted,

Although, when needs not met do tend to become wallowers.

************

One touch of your fur,

Feels like silk beneath my hands,

Causes a heady stir,

When I am seeking comfort it is always in my plans.

*************

To hear your bark,

Is music for my heart,

Even if it’s to tell me “Let’s go to the park!”

My furry babies are just so smart.

*************

Gazing into your soulful eyes,

Sweepings me into your soul,

For your devotion is quite the prize.

And makes me feel so whole.

**************

To the end of the earth,

I would go for you.

Though not there at your birth,

I am here for you now and all your boo-boos.

**************

For you have licked mine away,

When my tears needed more than a tissue,

Your little pink tongue kept my tears at bay,

When my spirit was very blue.

**************

My furry friends always a comfort,

The guardian angels,

Who never liked when I am discomfort,

To cast a blanket of love over my troubles like archangels.

**************

With poop discovered on the rug,

To chewed up bills on the floor,

With a cute face looking a little smug,

I will happily take care of this naughty chore.

***************

When pain strikes it’s ugly head,

No pain pill does the trick,

As well as having cuddles with you on the bed,

And watching the latest chick flick.

***************

Thank you to my furry group,

Sadie, Lady, Tiger, Duke,

You are the best troop,

To watch my back when I get spooked.

    Dear Daphne - I'm so flattered that you've discovered my little (3) minute 'Schticks' ~ As I scroll through your gorgeous and such eclectic writings *I've subscribed to you with pleasure. So sorry I haven't seen your work 'till now. I'm just a retired highly scrutinized legal writer morphed into a self described 'Goof-Writer' nothing more. Not into contest or self promotion but, after reading this lovely 'Original' story - come-on how cute are they - if you have a moment please see 'This is Dude'. Ok, I'm stalling: May I share something with you? My wife was dyslexic - "Last Valentine'' - and we would rhythmically go through chants every night with rhymes such as a "I Think I can I think I can" studying for her R.N. Exam: She passed the very 1st time - It was about her self-confidence. - With my Respect - Jay Jay Kantor, Chatsworth, California 'Senior' Vocal Author - Vocal Village Community -
