Why Some Prefer the Company of Beasts
Some say that people are life’s great delight,
With words that shine and minds so bright.
But hearts can turn, and tongues can sting,
And trust, once lost, is a fragile thing.
A dog will sit beside your chair,
Through silent grief or whispered prayer.
A cat may roam and seek the night,
Yet always finds its way back right.
They ask for little, just a touch,
A bit of kindness—not too much.
No gossip spills from gentle paws,
No whispered schemes, no hidden claws.
They do not judge the tears you hide,
Or mock the fears you keep inside.
They do not tally every wrong,
Nor hold a grudge for very long.
A wagging tail, a nuzzle near,
A steady heart that knows no fear.
Through all the storms that life unfurls,
An animal’s love outshines the world.
They ask for little, just a touch,
A bit of kindness—not too much.
No gossip spills from gentle paws,
No whispered schemes, no hidden claws.
They do not judge the tears you hide,
Or mock the fears you keep inside.
They do not tally every wrong,
Nor hold a grudge for very long.
A wagging tail, a nuzzle near,
A steady heart that knows no fear.
Through all the storms that life unfurls,
An animal’s love outshines the world.
