Pawprints For Devotion
Verses for My Canine Crew

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.

Beautiful, heartfelt, heartwarming, wonderful little poem. And what adorable little beasts.
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 -
Top-notch effort! Keep the extraordinary work 😘🤦♂️💖👍
