The Colour of True Love

How my German Shepherd changed me

By Cheryl ChanPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

They called her trouble

So why did she melt

Like strawberry ice cream

Right into my arms?

Sweeter than all summer

Didn’t know a good human

But still fluttered her eyes

Like young rose petals

Seeing me for the first time.

How are you full of so much love?

How are you full of so much love?

When she sleeps by my side

My heart is cotton candy

Growing, growing, sugar spun

Fed by the perpetual motion

Of her love.

For her, I am soft yet strong like a pastel sunset

For her, I am a flamingo

Never afraid to put my head underwater

For her, I am the side of the peach that faces the sun,

For I am young again

I am full of so much love.

I am full of so much love.

Who knew a little dog

Could teach me so much.
