I carefreely whisper in his ear
knowing my secrets will be safe
With him I never have to fear
the gentlest smile, and loving face
His love for me, beyond reproach
his eye would never, ever stray
I snuggle in and hold him close
I swear, I've never loved this way
His tender kiss, without a fuss
he gives no matter who is there
Looks don't mean a thing to us
his scruffy face and curly hair
He loves me even when I'm moody
forgives without throwing a fit
When I feel ugly, I'm his cutie
Won't hold a grudge, not just a bit
I don't know how I'd get along
if he ever went away
The love of this unruly dog
grows stronger each and every day!

Dark Memoirs - Index There are at least two kinds of people in the world: those who write this half-arsed kind of intro to a story that looks to separate the rare and the norm, and those who realise it's an overused framing device and don't.

Could not be truer or better said about a dog's love.
Great poem! Love the picture!!
Aww so adorable ♥️♥️♥️
There is no more unconditional love than the love of a dog. Well writ, Kelli!
Love this from the image to the end. Nothing like the love of a doggie pal. Great work.
Oh goodness. That is so sweet.
I knew this could not be a person. 😉
